I made this collage with someone specific in mind. I've always loved this retro image. In fact, lately, I've been consistently drawn to retro images. I received some wallpaper the other day that is so vintage 60s it's like seeing a photograph of the kitchen in which I grew up. The colors are so exact they extract the sounds and smells of that wonderful haven of laughter and comfort. I'll be using that paper in something soon. I like where it takes me.
For now, here's a collage inspired by all the sweets that came from those bygone kitchens.
I just LOVE this, what a wonderful collage. I especially love the photo, it reminds me of when I use to bake cakes with my mother when I was small..and it even looks like her too!
