Let's Twist to the 60's

Well here it is ... my day to show my interpretation of the 60's.  During that decade I attended grade school and a few years in high school.  Too young to go to one of the greatest music festivals ever ... dagnabbit!!! Many music legends played at Woodstock ... Joan Baez, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Jimi Hendrix ... 

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky 

To this day, I still love that song.

My project is more about the late 60's; you know ... peace, love, music, and flower power. 


My original plan was to use a different batik for the background.  It had the same colors, but not nearly as vibrant and it didn't have flowers.  Then my LQS sent out an email with pictures of some new batiks that just arrived.  I saw the flowers and the bright colors and knew immediately I HAD to get it for the background.  It was the perfect fit for the look I was going for.

Thank you Madame Samm for coming up with the theme to this super groovy blog hop.  It was a blast digging up some great memories of the past.  Thank you Mary for getting us all organized and for cheering us on.  Thanks also to the sponsors Island Batik and Reliable for some far out and outta sight giveaways. 

Here's the list of other hip bloggers I'm sharing the day with:

 
Thank you for stopping by. 
 
Until next time ....
 
Peace,
Jan
