Time 60's

I was so inspired by Keren Baker' beautiful work on the PA blog last night, that I had to have a go at stamping clocks with embossing fluid and get out my old mica powders. Not the same technique, but inspired by her work.

I started by rummaging around to look for old photos of my family when I came across this old page of 60's images that I printed off last year.


I transferred parts of the images to my journal by wetting it and rubbing the ink through with a bone folder.

I added an extra image to fill a gap and was pleased with my background.


Next, I stamped with Clocks 3 and Clocks 4 in archival ink and with embossing fluid and rubbing over with mica powders. 
For contrast, I cut out some printed images....The Beatles, minus Ringo....and added to my work.

I ended up scribbling a frame, which seems to be my thing at the moment??

I played around with sentiments but decided to leave it to speak for itself!


It reminded me of my youth and made me smile! 
I am linking this to the Paperartsy blog challenge here.

    Goodness me, Hazel, that certainly takes me back! I love the life and sheer exuberance of this with its vintage layers. Ah, those geometric hair-dos. I had curls and longed for sleek and shiny locks so that I could look stylish and 'mod'! Your scribbled frame really finishes off this fun collage perfectly and those clocks do remind us of how time flies! xxx

    Oh wow, I love this - it is SO 60's! The images work really well, I love the layered effect and the feeling of energy! I was in love with George back then, never been a Ringo fan so I'm not missing him on your page!! Fab work!

    The layering of images is so evocative - love the shadowy ones in the background and the depth created. Great retro look.
