The weekly theme for Illustration Friday is "Remember". It took me a while to think of an idea, and even longer to get the painting done. Life was just too busy this week. Well I'm getting it onto IF with just a few hours to spare.
I was thinking about how young women use to make a special message for their lovers who were going off to war. Then I wanted the overall look to be like the vintage needle packages. I've always liked those packages. I guess because I remember my mom having some in her old sewing machine drawer way back when I was quite young. They probably belonged to her mother before that.
It's an ACEO (2.5x3.5 inches) acrylic. Find it on Etsy.

Such a great sense of longing! Wonderful.
I like the textures of whatever you've painted this on and nice color choices.
I like how you fit the theme and your painting turned out beautifully!
It is beautiful.
