I think alot the challenges I do sublimially connect with me. Like the swing in this one - my favourite pasttime as a youngster. Forever nagging mum to take us to a park with a good swing. And the Victorian style dresses reminded me of dressing up!
I used three photos taken of me dressing up in Mum's clothes (possibly all from the 1960's.) I used to like the silver shoes particularly - they felt like cinderella's slippers, even though they were big for me. I also used to 'play' with mum's jewellery, but I mainly liked to feel the textures; the hard cameos, the smooth cold plastic long necklaces, and the chunky chains.

Love this! Great take on the challenge- such a creative interpretation. Thanks for playing along with the ARTastic challenge this month.
ReplyDeleteOh! This made me smile and reminded me of being a kid and dressing up, too. For me it was the sound of beads clicking and snicking together. Still get a thrill from that noise from a decent set of 'costume' jewellery!!! ANYWYAYS. Congrats on your last month's win.... & another fabulous, fun, whimsical 'take' here. Thanks for joining in at ARTastic!!!!

ReplyDeleteA wonderful page Kylie - so bright and playful and I love the theme you have used. Many thanks for joining in with us this month on ARTastic.
ReplyDeleteFab take on the challenge Kylie, and love the story behind your layout. I think we all liked clunking around in dress up shoes when we were little. I love the rabbit in your layout tied up in a bow having a swing. Congrats on the win last month

thank u for your lovely comments. Mary - there's nothing like a swinging high rabbit to lift the spirits.. I really wanted something on a swing, and that was the best I could come up with!
