Design Source - Description |
I wanted to make a wallhanging to present to the firefighters which gave of themselves in May in Slave Lake Alberta, Canada to sell prints of or postcards of to make themselves money to help pay for what they may need in the fire dept. The idea of the flames came from Ricky Timms quilting using the freezer paper method. Thankyou Ricky for developing that idea. I will be presenting this to the firefighters in the town in a couple of weeks. I have also had a print made up on canvas for the mayor. The black edge represents the Black Day in History for the town, the images of the animals and birds are the loss of wildlife in the fire, the images of buildings represents the loss of homes and businesses, the images of trees represents the loss of the forest and the image of the helicopter represents the crash of a helicopter and the loss of the pilot. The fireman image represents all of the firefighters who gave of themselves to battle the blaze for days until it was put out. My tribute to all of them who worked tirelessly for hours. I SALUTE THEM ALL. Kathleen Mennell |
