welcome! it is friday, the auspicious day
of the autumnal equinox. i do love this season.
even in southern california, land of eternal sunshine,
a slight shift in the light, in the breezes and the beginning
of early morning and afternoon crispness can be detected.
today i am showing you more map girls drawn on thomas guide pages.
with the frequent and common usage of cell phones, maps have become
all but obsolete and i have found a new use for this paper that i cannot
throw out. the first image i posted last week but i thought they would
be fun seen together. one of my friends predicted i will be continuing a
new collection as i did with teabags last year. perhaps! i title them by the
page numbers. they are all the same color but the lighting changes the outcome
on the screen. i don't mind that.
posting with paint party friday friends. thanks so much
to eva and kristen for hostin.
Irene, your map girls are awesome. I just tossed out dozens of maps. Now I wish I had saved some of them to paint faces on.
