Old doodlings from 1975

Good morning all, it is a lovely sunny Monday morning here in Sheffield, although a little chilly.
A few weeks ago BH cleared out the loft and put a pile of stuff in the spare room for me to sort through, a job I hate. Yesterday I decided to take a look through. some of it. I still have plans for a craft area in this room and at the moment there is hardly even floor space to step in!! So some stuff has to go, I am such an hoarder, you never know when you might need it!!

Amongst the stuff was one of my old art portfolios, which I thought was long gone. I don't even remember seeing it before we moved here, so it is a mystery how it got there, unless it had come from Dads when we cleared his house out . At the time I couldn't face going through stuff and it was packed and put in the loft.

So here is one of my doodles from 1975 - A for art


I have scanned it in to the PC and printed off in black and scanned in again to get a better picture for you. It is actually done in blue biro and was part of an art display at Hope Valley College, Hope, Derbyshire in 1975. Kept reasonably well for it's age, a little crumpled around the edges and a mark here and there, a bit like me really!! lol I might share some more with you later, and I know you all are wondering how old I was in 1975? lol

What ever you are doing today enjoy. Lynne x
