"Say Cheese...Smile for the Camera...Tilt Your Head A Little to the Side..." Typical photo studio jargon. But today everything is so "techy" that film is no longer used & everything is stored on a disk or memory card.
What happen to the old cameras & snapshots from the past? Vintage cameras & photos have become new collectibles, & all the labor intensive equipment used to develop these images are beginning to be found & used in ways that you would never expect.
Today, I am bringing back the past by using vintage wooden plate film holders as the "focus" of my craft.
Don't Hate Me Because I Am A Snob!
Who's Your Bunny?
My gal pal, Melanie, decided to get a "jump-start" on Easter by crafting an adorable plate using a vintage picture with 2 bunnies & a kitty. She cut a small piece of muslin that she raveled & glued to the plate, followed by modge podge to the little photo. A tuft of white rabbit fur, an old button, & cotton "ruler" ribbon finished out her project. Don't you love the saying? She will use a little aisle to hold her new creation.

Don't Hate Me Because I Am A Snob!
This is the "comical" mixed media craft that I made using an old wood plate film holder. I just adore the lady with her fur coat, gloves & hat. She looked so fashionable for the era, but at the same time, a "little snobby". The quote fits her perfect. I used modge podge to attach the torn photo & old post card image. I glued the fur from a discarded coat's sleeve, old lace & a brooch at the bottom of the plate. At the top, I chose an old plastic buckle, a mismatched earring, & lavender silk ribbon. The plate already had the wire hanger thingy. You can find wooden & glass film holder plates on Ebay.
