Lucy is visiting for a few days and helping me sort out some of the boxes in my attic. She loves it when we discover a box from my childhood with stories I've written and illustrated. We discovered another treasure today- three boxes of paper dolls I made and designed myself. Going through these boxes was so nostalgic for me- I was enjoying the old memories, but for Lucy, going through all those treasures was a completely new memory- and one she'll have of me when I'm long gone.
I love her expression and the desaturated (is that the right word?) colors of this photo. There's a lot of nice things about your story--that you saved these things, that you get to share them with Lucy and that you created them yourself.
@eudora I did a number of treatments to this- black and white, vintage, a more black and white version of sepia and a few others I can't remember now! I was definitely going for a nostalgic feel. Thanks Diane!
