The Colour Purple
My second frame for the CVC Challenge is for my grandaughter Maddison who is at 6th form college doing dance and musical theatre. She wants to be an actor and be in musical shows. She recently was on stage in Guildford, in a production of '6' as one of Henry the Eighth's wives - Catherine Parr. The whole show was electric with so much energy on stage from this group of youngsters and the wives were amazing. We were so proud of Maddison and her achievements, when it came to her solo and taking the lead she absolutely rose to it, and sang so incredibly well and belted out her singing whilst acting and dancing as well. We came away feeling ecstatic.
This frame contains a lot of meaning and is representative of her whole theatre story. I included the glass star, of course I'm biased but that is what she is to us. A bottle of love, a key to her future in this world of musical theatre, flowers that we always give her after seeing one of her shows, a sparkly heart recognises the emotions we feel when watching her and the excitement it gives us, 14 because this is a valentine gift and a bottle of gems to represent the costumes and jewellery that she will wear so beautifully.
Maddison has been having dance lessons since she was about 3 years old so here is a ballet dancer dancing to the music.
Anyway Maddison loves the colour purple. We have an embossed musical score background representing her singing abilities, this was dipped in a mix of spray stain and distress spritz, spritzed with water and dipped and sprayed until I was happy with it, once dry I blended distress ink round the edges.
Tucked in the little base of the frame a bottle of LOVE containing mauve gems and tiny seed beads, a resin flower, a token and a key.
Tucked in the other corner another small bottle coloured with alcohol ink and some little paper flowers.
The bottles were sealed with a coat of collage medium. I applied rub-ons around the frame just to distress it a little.
