Twist Party!

I can't believe a month has passed since I posted last.  It is hot, humid and hazy here in metropolitan DC and I am not feeling like twisting right now.  I hope all my friends are staying cool.

June

Not only is it June... it is a week into June. What happened? I have been scanning in images from older publications and started with Fortune magazine June 1944. It has some great illustrations and I soon realized it was the month of the Normandy beach landing…D Day. So I will add a page from that publication.

I have been gardening and binging on International Mystery programs I had taped a year ago. I have avoided the computer and phone calls but after reading Carol Leigh's blog and her plans to commit to collage I thought I better get back to work.  Thanks Carol!

Siren...for a Day

All images Circa 1950s.

Fresh and Hot!

I found this lady in a "Glamourous Lingerie" ad in a 1950s magazine. I am having a good time making up stories for these ladies.

Breathe

I did this for the Photoshop Artistry Group Challenge 23 where we were to create a piece of art that expresses a kind of contented timelessness.

It started out cut and paste and then to Photoshop to add the history of the world civilizations and an engraving of islands etc.

Misadventures

Just a hint of green for St.Pattie's Day.

Red Raven

The wonderful ad I found in a 1907 Cosmopolitan magazine had a full page Red Raven ad. It is the Egyptian looking blue bird in the background. It seemed very familiar to me so I searched through my Victorian Trade Card collection in the medicinal section and found one advertising Red Raven. The chromolith is featured on the digital pin I made for this collage. It was a mineral water that was very healthy for you hence the Red Cross armband.

Belated Holiday Greetings

I sprung my husband from the hospital ICU so this is a little late for the holidays. We are beginning the New Year at home and glad to be here.

You Rock!

A Happy Birthday to Phoebe!
