TRAVEL ART SWAP

I finally got my 5X3 Travel Swap art done. This has been an on again- off again project because I had too many ideas going on at once. The title is;
"Some traveled the world, she traveled in her dreams."
I used the famous depression mother photo with an old bus schedule as background. Along the sides are small print outs of magazine covers when Bette Davis and Ginger Rodgers were big stars. I laminated them and tied them on the card through the eyelets. I stayed up half the night working on this because I lost all track of time. I was totally in the art zone. You should see my dining room, it looks like a zone too. Twilight zone.
While I was working on these little magazine covers I took another trip down memory lane. The magazines were 10 cents. My Mom didn't buy these magazines because I think my Dad would have flipped out if she wasted money on movie star crap. I do remember a neighbor woman bought them and I loved going to her house to read her magazines and just watch her do anything. She was divorced and light years ahead of our neighborhood. She wore bright red lipstick, movie star clothes and had a big beehive hair doo! She has been dead for years but her unique style burned an imprint in my mind. I admired her for being her own person and not worrying what others thought. She eventually moved away and married a man that adored her but she never had a Ya Ya.
Here's to all Ya Ya's that follow their dreams.
