Back in the day, we held wall phones, tethered with cords. What to do with the other hand though? Well, one could doodle, anyway! I would not be surprised at all if that is where this playful doodle of my Mom's came from. :)
Cropped by the daughter (me).
Again, I found this on a larger paper, but wanted to display my Mom's signature, so I clipped it, and tacked it on...
I had to hold my breath again while doing this! My Mom had these little mums (or could they be straw flowers?) randomly spread out on a large paper. She was probably just practicing - experimenting with making them...I saw that this little ready-made frame would jive with the colors of the blooms, and so I carefully cut around the blossoms, arranged, and glued them onto a background paper. I think it's pretty cheerful! :)
