Fashion Girl from the 60s---Mary

I love the 60s. The late 60s and early 70s was my coming of age. I had Bell-bottoms something similar to this. I had a purse like this too. My teenage daughter now wears necklaces like this one and they are her favorite. She loves the Beatles and collects stuff from this time period. It makes me laugh. I think fashions are re-created and tweeked about every 25 to 30 years. It is interesting to watch. I think Check out the hippies in the last new post by Lila.

I just "SNAPPED"--Art Journal Altered books-MARY

Here is a funny art journal page. These are my two grandchildren. This is the CONFESSIONS of a RIGHT-Brainer! He is SNAP -happy with his camera!! He takes the funniest pictures of his sibblings and they too are little monkeys and play along with the never-ending silliness. I wrote this like he is confessing to a crime (but just taking goofy Pictures!) and I called this page "I JUST SNAPPED". This is a page that I did in one of my OLD books. It is never-ending fun for me as an Art Journalist. Notice that all my pages have numbers. I almost always make my INDEX after I journal all the pages. But know for sure---- that I rarely start with the first page. I always start somewhere in the middle and jump around. AND.......Yes, my grandchildren got their RIGHT-Brain from me. tehehehehehehe!
