Vintage: Infancia
I love Penelope's Friday Illustration. Today's theme is Vintage. The words "Infancia" mean childhood. This illo represents my childhood in the 70's and my "cat" eyeglasses with little rhinestones! I remember hating those glasses and wishing for contacts badly (especially because I'm legally blind and everyone at school called me "four-eyes") I always remember my 12th birthday when I finally said goodbye to my "ugly" glasses and my parents got me contacts! (I hope my Mom is keeping those little eye glasses somewhere in a box...) Those eye glasses means a lot to me now.
Love the retro theme!
I've received my lovely cards! All of the precious details you put in to the packaging...Just wonderful!
Thanks!!LOL

I love the glasses!! Did you just illustrate that today? Perfect retro pinks, greens and yellows! Your talent always astounds me, girly. Keep it up!
