Memory Game

I do love vintage memory games cards and I found another set at the carboot last Sunday- Waddingtons, dating from late 1960s.  They are illustrated by Alain Gree.

 I thought these looked familiar and then I had seen them on ingthings.  Ingrid always has a clever, simple and creative blog header.  It features a 'little family'- check it out now before it changes, she likes to refresh it frequently.  I remember at least one image on hers that I don't have and yet there are over 120 in the box.

The patterns look textured, not just blocks of colour.  And you can see the fabric weave on the black/white dotties

A weird selection of still life images

Joyful illustrations

My favourite, it is giving my ideas...

Happy weekend x

Carboot treasure 1

I had a number of great finds at the car boot sale yesterday.  I found a great set of Galt memory game cards. By coincidence these are also up on Jane Foster's lovely blog

Beautiful images and a limited palette, I have grouped them according to different themes that ran through my head as I was playing with them.

I think they are destined for a big mosaic style display.  More booty to come, it was a bumper day...
