Here's my entry for "All in a Row" this week's challenge at Think Monday - Think ATC. This is an ATC made in memory of the row house I lived in for many years in downtown Toronto while I was attending the University of Toronto. Smack in the middle of downtown, just 2 little old rowhouses, connected, in the midst of skyscrapers, theatres, pubs, shops, warehouses. It was wonderful! I had a studio apartment on the top floor, with a deck out the back, on the roof. I could sit on my roof and watch the fireworks at the CN Tower.
ATC made with layered hand dyed papers, stamped with paint, drawn, and embellished. The base paper is a house blueprint.
My Toronto row house was not painted in these vibrant spring colors, but it was painted with a beautiful mural on the street side wall. The artist, Bill Wrigley, lived on the second floor of our building - those are his windows incorporated into the streetcar, and in the lower right corner of the mural you see our landlord, Leon Katz. I lived in the house before, during and after Bill painted the mural. How cool is that!
