I chose this topic because I have two little sisters and I never get to see them. Abby is two and Lily is only a few months old. They live with my biological father and he lives in Shepherd, Michigan. With me living in Entrican, I never get to visit or even talk to them. I have always wanted a little sister and now that I have two of them, I want to do the best I can to be a good role model and show that I will always be here if they ever need me. One of the challenges I had while making this piece is I had to, somehow, get wooden blocks to stick to my background. I eventually hot-glued them to the receiving blankets I had covering my background. Second, I had to figure out how I would get baby bottles, rattles, and pacifiers. I had to buy them after asking around for extra baby items anyone might have had. And thirdly, I could not get the skin tone on my actual mask the right color. It was too blue, too red, too orange, or too pink. In the end I used a lot of white with a tad of orange and red and it came out with the right color. I am happy with how my project came out. The only thing I would do different is I would have picked pink receiving blankets instead of yellow and green. Overall I am very pleased with my final piece.
