Keeping in Touch

Many years ago, before cell phones, computers and even the telephone.
People could always send a telegram
for all those important matters that just couldn't wait.
Oxford Impressions brand new stamp plate
London Telegraph
Has lots of Fun vintage images of those days gone by.
Gave this a bit of a Steampunk feel.
 With the gears on the sheet. I embedded them into modeling paste
on the center building.

"Can you hear me now?" LOL

  2. FABULOUS!!!
    I eagerly awaited your London Telegraph art and you have not disappointed. The gears in the paste will have created incredible texture.
    Cannot wait for this plate to arrive in the mail - my fingers are getting all twitchy.
    Wishes

  14. What a lovely piece.

    I remember telegrams...I can recall my Mum phoning up to give the message that was to be sent to a family member on their wedding day (the cost was added to the phone bill.

    I was most disappointed that they had gone out of fashion and in most areas ceased before I got married - I really wanted one to put in the photo album.

  38. Aloha Lynn;
    This January is flying by so quickly!
    Your triptych is so gorgeous. I love how you made the wire go from one building to the next and how you embedded the clock and gears in the center panel. So clever!
    I'm playing catch up (as usual) with your blog and noticed your Valentine creations. Love the glass-heart pendants and the Caged Cupid!
    I think you may still have some time, if you would like to stop by my blog and enter my giveaway. It ends midnight on the 12th.
    Hope you're having a wonderful year so far.
    Hugs...
