...memories i don't have...
where to start with my new idea, so the first matchbox that i
decided to do was inspired by my baby girl mila, her conception,
pregnancy and birth have been covered in way too much detail in
previous posts.
well, on the day she was born, my placenta tore during my labour
so i was put unconscious in order to cut her out to save both our lives,
wow, months of heart ache and some therapy who knew i could sum
that day up in a quick sentence, any way i digress...
being unconscious during your babies birth and first few minutes in
the world truly is or should be every mothers worst nightmare.
after months of peeing, bach ache, sleepless nights and a few hours
of labour pain, the least the f@!#ing world can do is let you be awake
to see your precious' first moments, WELL didn't!
so a few weeks after the birth i was going through my camera when
i discovered a whole lot of pics that jp took while i lay sliced and
stitched in a hospital room away from my baby, sniff, snot and tears
later, well at least i can see the moments captured on film.
hence the first matchbox...memories i don't have...
my concept is to cover the outside of the box with a fleshy colored
satin, with visible stitches along the front. i added a 'made in bali'
clothes tag, see earlier posts as too how exactly conception occurred.
the inside, i carefully lined with womb-y colored satin and
now i just need to figure out how to add the photos and
what else to put inside, perhaps her hospital 'bracelet'
or my placenta... hahaha no i didn't keep it.
will post more pics once it's done...
