Carrie Pillow <strong>and</strong> Doll<br />
My “Aunt Carrie” was really my great<br />
aunt. She was my gr<strong>and</strong>m<strong>other</strong>’s sister.<br />
I found a photo of her taken around<br />
1912 <strong>and</strong> used the image to make a<br />
print on paper. At that time, I also<br />
printed one on fabric that I had<br />
mounted onto a sheet of print paper.<br />
This front of this pillow is that print.<br />
It included rubbings of lace <strong>and</strong> book<br />
covers <strong>and</strong> the row of silhouettes<br />
printed with transparent ink.<br />
18” x 14”, 1981<br />
For the doll, I <strong>designed</strong> a back that would match up with the front. I printed them both,<br />
sewed around the outside, turned the doll <strong>and</strong> then I stuffed her. She is about 9 ½” high
