What to Wear

I found these fantastic sketches and notes of a fashion designer from the 1960's at the Alameda Flea Market.  The ladies are from about 1960 and the clothes are early 1950's

Lost at Sea

This is part of my new series - The pattern on the paper is taken from a vintage narcotic prescription pad - it was the watermark of the prescriptions.  Most of the people and objects are from the same late 1950's early 1960's period.   The boat is an ancient Egyptian bateau, similar to those that ferried people to the afterlife.
