Cynthia

Cynthia, at Justin's House

One of the first prints we got from Seth was that with the character Cynthia. I identified with her, and loved the print, and now it is up on our wall. We bought this print when we visited Thomas for July 4th weekend last year. 

This year, we were in Thomas again, for July 4th. Justin and Trevor had just done up their house and Justin invited us up to see what they had done. They have converted the floor into 2 one bedroom apartments with a kitchen and bathroom. They also have a studio that Nellie will use. The apartments are just gorgeous, and everything they used was reused or repurposed! Such talented fellows. They did all the work themselves. 

As we were touring the place, we noticed that Justin also has the Cynthia print up in a beautiful frame. We commented on it, and Justin told us the story behind it. 

Justin had visited an estate sale in Houston. There were a lot of frames on sale. The lady, who had passed away, Cynthia, used to write a lot of poems. It seemed like her family didn't care about her writing, which was sad. Justin bought this frame and the writing it held, and asked Seth to create something from it. And so, the character Cynthia came to be.
