Hello my crafty friends !! I was playing with my family art journal these days and I made this page about my mother. Dorothy always says to me that her childhood was a really happy and carefree season. Summers by the sea, lots of friends and neighbors to play with and memorable schooldays !! I've heard many stories, some of them funny ...others strange ... from a completely different Greece !! But ... in the end we can only imagine our parent's childhood !!
At this photograph my mother is 11 years old and dressed up as a Casino Rulette for the carnival, a costume handmade by my grandmother.
This is the original photograph taken at 1961 from the veranda of the house . For my family journal I always make copies of the photographs...
With this journal spread I will enter at 3 challenges.

Thank you all for reading my post !!!
Wow, to have such a picture! Pictures like that are sometimes to find on websites that collect and sell them. And than you see them over and over again. But yours is UNIQUE! And than what you did with it on your journal! I always pick your work out of the bloglovin mail without even look at the name. :) It is always surprising!

ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήΠραγματικά η φωτογραφία είναι φανταστική, αλλά εσύ την έκανες ακόμα πιο παραμυθένια με τα νεραϊδοφτερα που έβαλες! Μήπως να σκεφτείς σοβαρά να πουλήσεις όλο το έργο και όχι μόνο τη φωτογραφία? χιχι... Πάντως ένα έχω να πω: στο art journal έχεις γίνει αστέρι!

The photo of your mother is really phantastic and I know what you mean, we can´t imagine our parents as children :), but I loved to listen to the stories, my parents told us about their childhood too.
