I thought this was cool imagery and coloring, in addition to saying something about our human condition: that before we speak our faces tell others so much about us. In the United States race, ethnicity and skin tone are what count, but in other countries people are valued differently.
This is another type of collage, where photos instead of words create the overall image. Afros for life!
I saw this image on Pinterest and it took me back to 2nd grade at Sacred Heart Elementary, Oakland, California, because my teacher, Mrs. Elsie Horton, had an alphabet set featuring soul images on her wall. Mrs. Horton died about 5 years ago, and worked at Sacred Heart for almost 50 years. She was something else and I'm happy this image came across my feed to remind me of her :)
Fashion Plates were a popular design toy from the 1970's and '80's. The idea was to choose plates, outline the design, then color in the design. They were modern paper dolls.
For some reason this toy popped in my head. I had a set as a pre-teen, but I gained other interets and Lord knows what my Mom did with my old toys!
Now I have an idea for a fashion blog and I think this toy is providing some inspiration. Because Tomy, the company that produced this toy no longer exists, others have created similar toys. Guess I'm visiting Toys'R'Us this week!
The first time I saw the London & New York skyline images for sale as a vinyl sticker, I almost bought one then realized I can cut one out for myself. Today I see that the world's most popular cities are now for sale and I think it's even cooler!
Recognize these images? The original Pop Art movement featured iconic images from the 1960's, the height of the Pop Art movement.
