Watercolor and acrylic (overlayed with acetate) 14 X 17 (c) Marcelo, 2007

I folded this from an acetate overhead sheet. My inspiration in making this is from a play by Tenesse Williams called “The Glass Menagerie,” about a girl named Laura who was born with one leg longer than the other; hence she had to wear a clamp. Due to her fragile state, she would stay at home looking after her collection of glass animals; her glass menagerie. Her favorite among her collection was the unicorn; a unique creature which did not fit among the rest of her collection; much like how Laura herself felt she did not fit among other people. It was not until her fateful encounter with a former high school mate Jim, where she began to let loose of her inferiority complex and accept who she was. JIM: Now how about you? Isn’t there something you, take more interest in than anything else? / LAURA: Well, I do – as I said – have my – glass collection / JIM: I’m not right sure I know what you’re talking about What kind of glass is it? / LAURA: Little articles of it, they’re ornaments mostly. Most of them are little animals made out of glass, the tiniest little animals in the world. Mother calls them A glass menagerie! Here’s an example of one, if you’d like to see it. This one is one of the oldest. It’s nearly thirteen. Oh, be careful – if you breathe, it breaks ! / JIM: I’d better not take it. I’m pretty clumsy with things. / LAURA: Go on, I trust you with him ! There now you’re holding him gently! Hold him over the light, he loves the light I You see how the light shines through him? / JIM: It sure does shine! / LAURA: I shouldn’t be partial, but he is my favourite one. / ... / JIM: Unicorns, aren’t they extinct in the modern world? / LAURA: I know ! / JIM: Poor little fellow, he must feel sort of lonesome. / LAURA: Well, if he does he doesn’t complain about it. He stays on a shelf with some horses that don’t have horns and all of them seem to get along nicely together. / JIM: How do you know? / LAURA:I haven’t heard any arguments among them! / JIM: No arguments, huh? Well, that’s a pretty good sign ! Where shall I set him? / LAURA: Put him on the table. They all like a change of scenery once in a while ! / ... / JIM: I think it’s stopped raining. Where does the music come from? / LAURA: From the Paradise Dance Hall across the alley. / JIM: How about cutting the rug a little, Miss Wingfield? / LAURA: Oh / JIM: Or is your programme filled up? Let me have a look at it. Why, every dance is taken! I’ll just have to scratch some out. Ahhh, a waltz ! / LAURA: I – can’t dance ! / JIM: There you go, that inferiority stuff ! Come on, try ! / LAURA: Oh, but I’d step on you ! / JIM: I’m not made out of glass. / LAURA: How – how – how do we start? / J IM: just leave it to me. You hold your arms out a little. / LAURA: Like this? / JIM: A little bit higher. Right. Now don’t tighten up, that’s the main thing about it – relax. / LAURA: It’s hard not to. I’m afraid you can’t budge me. / JIM: What do you bet I can’t? / LAURA: Goodness, yes, you can! / JIM: Let yourself go, now, Laura, just let yourself go. / ... / JIM: Loosen th’ backbone! There now, that’s a lot better. / LAURA: Am I? / JIM: Lots, lots better ! / LAURA: Oh, my ! / JIM: Ha-ha ! / LAURA: Oh, my goodness ! / JIM: Ha-ha-ha ! (They suddenly bump into the table. JIM stops) What did we hit on? / LAURA: Table. / JIM: Did something fall off it? I think- / LAURA: Yes. / JIM: I hope that it wasn’t the little glass horse with the horn ! / LAURA: Yes. / JIM: Aw aw aw- Is it broken? / LAURA: Now it is just like all the other horses. / JIM: It’s lost its - / LAURA: Horn! It doesn’t matter. Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise. / JIM: You’ll never forgive me. I bet that that was your favourite piece of glass. / LAURA: I don’t have favourites much. It’s no tragedy, Freckles. Glass breaks so easily. No matter how careful you are. The traffic jars the shelves and things fall off them. / JIM: Still I’m awfully sorry that I was the cause. / LA U R A: I’ll just imagine he had an operation. The horn was removed to make him feel less – freakish! Now he will feel more at home with the other horses, the ones that don’t have horns. . / JIM: Ha-ha, that’s very funny! (Williams, The Glass Menagerie)

This is another bird from my oracle deck, “the Owl.” / In my oracle the Owl indicates learning and wisdom and depending on the direction it lies can mean wisdom from the past, a teacher, or lessons learned form the past, or an upcoming test. This started out as a pencil drawing, and then transferred to a transparency and then painted in acrylics.

This is a stencil of a man holding a bag, i then edited in photoshop by making the image into a stencil, printed the image off, then took the stencil and painted onto acetate sheet, the stencil below. Then after painting a few layers, making my brush strokes really distinctive, i then took it into the dark room and processed the stencil the same way as a photogram, it gives the same kind of effect, i left the exposure for around 25-30 seconds cannot remember the exact time. The way it works as becuase the paint is not really dark and will let through some light through the strokes, it gives off this kind of ghostly effect. This is the outcome of my first stencil photogram, Hopefully more to come. Thanks alot, comments are welcome.

Same as my other photogram stencil thing, but i put this one in on itself and did the same exposure around 25-30 seconds, When processed i then scanned it in and reversed it in photoshop to make it stand out more. Comments are welcome. Thanks

Frederick started life as a pencil drawing, which became an outline on acetate, which was then painted with glass paints before being photographed. Frederick is just one of a series of little creatures and one of the most popular!

The cassette tape inherits its seeming authenticity from its ancestor, that ancient machine: the reel to reel player. Apologies to Momus for use of his flea market photo of reel to reel player.

Self-portrait I folded a rose from a sheet of acetate. I don’t remember how big that was but that does not matter since this is one of my miniatures. This rose is the same type folded in my Snow Flower, but this one is folded from a transparent sheet. There were several challenges involved in creating this piece. Folding acetate is different from paper due to different physical properties. The central twist of the rose particularly does not maintain it’s form forever in acetate; I would have it held down or take the pic before it untwists itself. I generally have a hard time with self-portraits, and it was also difficult getting both my eye and the rose in focus; and getting the right crop. In addition my eyes are dark, but I also wanted to get enough light in them for the “faded” effect without over exposing the rose. Later I also took this using the same rose:

Glow
by Mui-Ling TehThis is the same folded rose in my Fading Taken with an Olympus FE-340 on Oct 22, 2009. I put a weak flashlight underneath it; and had another weak flashlight shining one it. I took the photo into photoshop and did a bit of adjustment for a glassier effect. This work has been featured in: / ~Still Life Photography
