Swim The Galilee-With Me

(Mixed Media 4×6 on CrdStock

I found this postcard at an Art Movie Theater advertising a documentry of an Israeli Swim Team in the 1930’s,composed of Jewish Refugees. I found that inspiring which inspired me to make a collage out of the great pic of the swimmer, which I cut out and put against a background of sand,like she was on a beach, I added The beach ball & sun-tan Lotion(which coincidently looks like it has Hebrew writing on it) & a blue flower to her swim-cap.Next,I used a label maker(love mine!) to write the “Shalom” (which means Hello,Goodbye & Peace in Hebrew) & the title of the collage. Then I used a gold paint pen to outline the title and color in the Jewish Star on the girl’s swimsuit. Shalom!
