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
replied
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 :)

A cook book for kids what a fab idea :))) Do you want some kids recipe or do you have the lot already :))) ?
I thought of you too as I’ve had ban Aussie friend on the phone yesterday, she lives in Brisbane :))
Karin Taylor
replied
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)
