Aggravation

Thursday, May 13, 2010

So, I needed to make a journal for my step-daughter-in-law for her birthday and figured she would use it for either taking notes at church or maybe bible study...whatever. So I made pretty covers (I'll post it next) and put put plenty of papers in it but thought I would try cutting a Jesus stencil for the first page to make it a little extra special. I cut my lil heart out for at least an hour, spraypainted the image and scurried downstairs to show Tom, he looked at it for a bit...then a bit longer, finally I asked him if he thought my painting could pass for Jesus - he said "Sure, nobody knows what he looks like anyway" GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Here he is:

He doesn't look like a Charles Manson does he?!? Does he look too intense?  Hmmm, maybe, and perhaps with good reason. 
Aggravated and yet always amused...................at the Shores

He does NOT look like Charles Manson. His eyes are intense, not psycho! I think it looks great!

Thanks Susan & Amy, I decided to go with it!

I saw who it was at once. It looks like Robert Powell in Zeffirelli's "Jesus of Nazareth".

It just might be, Jenny. I did the stencil from a photo I got online
