Happy Birthday, Abraham Lincoln

Lincoln  8x10 acrylic collage

I grew up in Illinois. My Dad must have taken me to every Lincoln site in the southern part of the state. I have been to Lincoln's birthplace in Knob Creek, Kentucky. 

 

 his home in Indiana

 The "Waymaking" at Westport Il. where he entered Illinois from Indiana

 Pretty much anywhere on this map

 My first job out of college was the beautiful Prairie House Gallery that was part of the Lincoln Herndon Law Office site.

Of course, my daughters have been indoctrinated in Lincoln stuff too..

 

Happy Birthday, Mr. Lincoln

Happy Lincoln's Birthday

I found this cool skirt fabric in a thrift store. It is a collage of Indian prints, goddesses and elephants, etc. I used a simple skirt pattern and voila.

Happy Birthday Abe!

Canadians for Abraham Lincoln. We celebrated Abe's 200th birthday by walking in a parade from is house (pictured above) to the Old Courthouse (downtown Springfield). We rang bells and carried lanterns. There were people in period costume.
President Obama was in town for a banquet. We didn't get to see him, but this very important person stepped out to the portico of the courthouse to thank us for his birthday wishes!



Crazy Canucks!
