Yeah these mermaids are mesmerising! I wish one of these had been on these 45 rpm sleeves I used to stare at for hours, they are so full of positive waves :)))
Karin Taylor in reply to Cvail73’s comment, 4 months ago
oh yeah…now i was just thinking about that last night…when i couldn’t sleep…as there was something else i remembered i used to stare at dreamily as a child!! so i leapt outa bed and grabbed it for inspiration…a little children’s cookbook with darling stylised girls and boys on it…..the recipe ingredients were on each child’s apron…..very similar to the little record covers/sleeves!!!! see, i have been thinking of you across the miles :)

Hi ya,!
Nah, wasn’t my idea, i’ve had the book since i was a little kids…sorry i didn’t explain properly. but the book had great pix in it , and i’m using it just to inspire other artwork i might do soon….. i just loved the little drawings in it, and used to drool over them while mum and i made the funny little recipes in it :) (like pigs in blankets ie…sausages wrapped in bacon blankets lol)
