These are photos of my family collaged onto velvet. On the left is a photo of my grandmother, Lillian Schall Heinemann. She and my mother loved pearls so I added a pearl necklace in their honor. Below her are her daughters Gertrude on the left and Lillian, my mother on the right. In the rectangular photo below them they are toddlers playing with the chickens in Ohio. The large center photo with the pearl collar around it is my grandmother and grandfather with Gertrude and my mother is the baby. Below them are my grandmother as a child on the right, her brother Art, and sister Alice, all born in the 1800's..
