No I just made it last night. I had kinda a hard day and had been thinking about her a lot. I just made it on photoshop.

I like this. Kacie would have loved it. It even has the necklace Mimi gave her.

Natalie said...

well i actually collaged the necklace in. It was not in the original picture. but i had another picture of her wearing it so i used it from there.

the quote is also in reference to the tattoo she had on her lower back. I changed the words to fit to her instead. On her lower back she had "he asked her what her favorite work of art was, but never could i tell it was him" so i changed it around to fit about her instead. This quote is from a Rufus Wainright song called "The Art Teacher" I believe she got this tattoo with Sarah? So Sarah has this same tattoo.

Kacie really loved Rufus Wainright. She introduced me to him. He signs really long ballad songs but he has a beautiful voice.
The full lyrics for the Rufus Wainright Art Teacher song are:

There I was in uniform
Looking at the art teacher
I was just a girl then;
Never have I loved since then

He was not that much older than I was
He had taken our class to the Metropolitan Museum
He asked us what our favorite work of art was,
But never could I tell it was him
Oh, I wish I could tell him --
Oh, I wish I could have told him

I looked at the Rubens and Rembrandts
I liked the John Singer Sargents
He told me he liked Turner
Never have I turned since then
No, never have I turned to any other man

All this having been said,
I married an executive company head
All this having been done, a Turner - I own one
Here I am in this uniformish, pant-suit sort of thing,
Thinking of the art teacher
I was just a girl then;
Never have I loved since then
No, never have I loved any other man
