They have love. . . and typewriters

The readings at the kids' wedding were unique to them. Greg's life-long friend Matt read from Sherlock Holmes 'The Red Headed League': "I know (my dear Watson) that you share my love of all that is bizarre and outside the conventions and humdrum routine of everyday life. You have shown your relish for it by the enthusiasm which has prompted you to chronicle, and, if you will excuse me saying so, somewhat to embellish so many of our own little adventures." Michelle's sister Christina read from 'Racter, an Artificial Intelligence': "Bill sings to Sarah, Sarah sings to Bill. Perhaps they will do other dangerous things together. They may eat lamb or stroke each other. They may chant of their difficulties and their happiness. They have love but they also have typewriters." I made the background paper by adding various digital textures and brushes to my canvas and printing it and my title on beige cardstock. Then I added a shimmering mist. I thought the brush of the man (cropped from a digital frame) looked like Sherlock Holmes. The typewriter and glasses are rub-ons. To end the ceremony, Michelle's life-long friend Allyson read from Song of Solomon...........that will be another layout!
