Sketchbook Cover

I decided to create a theme for my sketchbook cover. I really love vintage and antique things, so I decided to use old family pictures and find whatever vintage looking crafts at the store. Each of these pictures are important and meaningful to my life. All of the pictures are of my great grandparents and grandparents from both sides of my family. It's really cool to see how young they we're because some of them are still living to this very day. One of the quotes I chose was from the Disney princess movie, beauty and the beast. "Tale as old as time" seemed to fit perfectly with my theme. To me, it means that no matter how old my relatives get, their memories will always stay young and fresh and will always be cherished. The second quote I picked was "time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind". This quote also ties in with the first one. My family members are special to me and I think their stories are important and worth telling. They've lived very long lives and their lives will be remembered forever. I think it was really hard to come up with an idea for this project, but I feel like it represents me completely. I love anything vintage and I think it was really cool to show my heritage in there as well.
