This week's challenge at
is
Grandmother's Recipes
The clearest memory I have of my grandma is of
her in her kitchen, bending over, taking cookies out of the oven.
I would have been about 6.
Which would have been 1960.
However,
I like the 50's and that was the era in which I started out,
so that what I went with. The 50's.
(Well, and the 40's, a bit)
To be totally honest, I'm not very happy with this, but
I'm also not willing to start over. :-)
Images were googled, border is by Carole Neale
and I used a couple of textures by
Shadowhouse Creations.
Be sure to check out all the fantabulous art at
So cute and bright and cheery...well done!
ReplyDeleteThis is a colorful tribute to all the grandmas and the happy memories they created. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea why you aren't happy with this, Electra. I think it's drop dead gorgeous. BEAUTIFUL and creative artwork.
ReplyDeleteSo 50's, Electra, excellent take on the theme!
ReplyDeleteThis is straight out of the 50's, a wonderful piece Electra! xx
ReplyDeleteMarvelous 50's artpiece dear!
ReplyDeleteThe frame looks like biscuits! :)
A perfect '50s piece, Electra, AND lovely too.
ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable! I remember my Grandma baking cookies too.
ReplyDeleteYes, Electra, this is very '50s! I have always enjoyed those perky women in their pretty little "party" aprons! Nice going.xx
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm sorry you aren't as pleased with it, I think it completely makes me think of a wonderful vintage kitchen, the beautiful art on the cookbooks, and even the appliance in the background. You have such a way with collage.
