Generations



Here's a digital atc I made today for the November challenge at the Vintage Veranda. I'm still of two minds when it comes to creating digitally. It's fun and a challenge to create something in a totally new way and it's very convenient to be able to take an element...such as a button for instance...and change it's size and color to fit my needs at the moment. On the other hand there's something about it that leaves me feeling dissatisfied. The piece never looks as good to me in my hands as it does on my computer screen. Anyway...the theme this month is "generations" and the challenge is to create a piece with "women and child/children" as the focus. I've chosen this particular photo because of the small smile on the mother's face. So often in these old photos the people look so stern. I just love the serene smile this woman wears. I bet she was a wonderful mother. This photo was generously shared at The Vintage Moth.
