I have been having so much fun with each new vintage dictionary page...so many words to inspire and who knew that a dictionary could be so much fun...I created these two new pieces....one for the word bird and one for the word poppy.....I have a whole 593 pages to go through...so this should be a fun project to see come to life....
I also thank all of the sweet people that have commented on my past pieces and left me some words for inspiration of new pieces....I am working away on the ideas you left and will have more to post each and every day...
Happy Creating and Thank you for popping by!
the 1940s Dictionary Series.....
1. Fashion - a piece inspired by Fashion week 2011
2. Doll - a piece for If's theme "toy"
There's something very cheerful about these. I'm listening to sunny music too. Thanks for your well wishes - hope your ill feeling is short lived!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful, I can see them all framed and hung together gallery style in a child's room.
