Pink and Black - Theme Thursday


Jennifer is so tickled to find this gorgeous pink hat because it just exactly fits over her beehive hair style and doesn't muss up a single lock of hair.

I was browsing through my collected Dover images for something that said poodle skirt era and I came across a number of images called: fashions. True this young woman sported white where the pink is now, but it does seem that back in those days we did see pink and black together a lot.

The background started off as a photo of some flowers in a bouquet that I was given. I took the photo and made it into a tiled pattern, via Photoshop Elements. Then to conform to the theme of Theme Thursday which is pink and black, I converted the photo to black and white

  3. What you did to achieve the background effect is facinating, Faye. My aunt, believe it or not, wore a beehive hairdoin the 1970's, so I understand all too well how difficult it would be to find a hat to fit over sucj a tower of hair! Your entry this week is not only adorable, it brought back a lot of fond memories.

  7. Beautiful, beautiful background, perfect for the image. Yes, I remember when pink and black was in vogue. As a matter of fact, I had an apartment in Miami that had pink tile trimmed in black. It was quite chic!
