this photograph was taken, in 1926. Her hair was
an amazing red, and she showed it off with those
Mary Pickford curls that were so popular for many,
many years.
Do you see the shadow in the bottom right of the photo?
It's probably my Great Aunt Pearl, my gran's little sister,
but we're not entirely sure about that.
This is star of stage and screen Mary Pickford--
isn't she adorable? Not to mention incredibly influential,
in her time. Pickford eventually cut her hair into
one of those 1920's bobs we associate with flappers,
as did my grandma.
It seems fitting to incorporate a photograph of one of
my favorite gingertops into a bit of art to announce
(happy day!) my invitation to join the design team over
at Gingersnap Creations. I've enjoyed participating in the
challenges there for over a year now, so I have to admit,
I'm pretty excited about this opportunity.
Thank you, Gingers--I'm looking forward to creating along
with you and all the awesome Gingersnappers for the next
six months!
:)

congrats to you! Lovely! Love the coppery glitz on the background!
WOW! Stunning work! And it's great to have pictures of your grandparents. I guess to take pictures in that time was rather expensive and a luxury.
This piece is so lovely. Really looking forward to the next 6 months creating together ... should be fun!
