This photo (with a drybrush photo filter applied) is my Mom, when she was about 6 years old, in 1918. She's the little girl on the far left. The 4th of July was a big deal back then, just as it is today. The children of Twin Falls Idaho, would decorate their wagons and bicycles, and go to the city park for carnival rides and a picnic. Mom doesn't remember any fireworks shows back then! It's hard to believe that my sweet Mom was a young girl during the First World War, and during the horrible flu epidemic. Her grandfather, visiting their home the next year from Minnesota, died during that epidemic. It was definitely a different, but more innocent time.I created this layout using a scan of a swatch of off-white homemade wool, woven by my great great grandmother in the mid-1800s. I used the polygonal lasso tool to “cut out” the stars & stripes, and I also used it to select my Aunt Wilma (on the right) in the photo to apply the burn tool. Caslon Antique & Euphorigenic fonts.
