Part II. Art

One of the more interesting Relief Society crafts my Grandma Rose Clifford engaged in involved carpet samples. It was quite ingenious really. She collected carpet samples from various willing merchants for free and then when she had enough laid them face down end to end into a big rectangle. She duct taped the whole thing together from the back and presto! a new colorful and exciting living room floor. That, and the playhouse in her backyard, is what I remember most about her house on Crosby Vista.

My own mother found her own unique use for the leftover carpet samples donated to her by Grandma. Mother hung about a dozen of them on the wall of my bedroom and used them as picture frames. From the files in her schoolroom she brought home some fine art prints and simply pinned them to the carpet samples. I thought this was normal. Yup. And so it was that I grew and flourished in a little tiny room surrounded by cultured carpet.

Profundity alert: It is true, people, that what we hang on the walls of our bedroom and in our minds influence us. Those art prints became old friends and when I took Humanities 101 at BYU and the professor flashed these on the big screen I recognized them immediately.

Here, then, are a few of my old art carpet companions. There’s too many to post here but you get the idea:

Okay, the real purpose of all this rambling is to post list #2 as promised. Here you go, kiddos. The Art list. And should you get the idea or urge to hang up any reproductions of these on dish towels, tile or something equally creative, you can thank me now, er, you can thank Grandma Rose and my mother for the inspiration.
