as the saying goes "a change is as good as a holiday"... so, after a few years with the same colour scheme i decided it was time for a 'makeover'...
rosie the riveter takes pride of place in my title banner, with beautiful australian dingoes in the background...
rosie started out as the 'star' of a us government campaign aimed at recruiting female workers for the munitions industry during world war 2, becoming the most iconic image of working womyn - and she has, over the years, been adopted by many as a symbol of female strength, passion and 'attitude'...
i decided to go with a sepia colour tone for the moment, but don't be surprised if next time you come back the look has been altered a bit...
i hope you like it... i'm sure it will take me a few views to get used to it... i do like the transparent overlay with the static graphic... but it has taken a while to get it to this point though, so that's it for this post... almost...
i just received my latest oscar's law update with a timely reminder coming up to one of the most commercial times of the year... "The lead-up to Christmas is a critical time for puppy farmers who rely on impulse purchasing at pet shops in order to profit. We can stop the puppy trade by not buying puppies from pet shops and showing others why they should do the same."

I love your new look Proud Womon. I haven't felt confident enough to start my own blog so far, but your new design is inspiring me to "dip my toes in the water".
ReplyDeleteI love it! I think it's great! Of course Rosie the riviter is a perfect addition to your page.
ReplyDeletethank you both for your encouraging comments...
ReplyDeletevexed vegan... you can share with the world or just those you invite to view until your confidence grows... i find blogging a therapeutic process, i can write about anything i choose, from issues that are important to me, to things i just need to 'vent' about... and love playing around with the design itself... there is no pressure, just what we place on ourselves... i do look forward to the time you feel like sharing though...
leila, your template style was my original inspiration... once i knew the transparency & static graphic design existed as a ready made template i decided it would suit me a my blog 'down to the ground' with a bit of tweaking... thank you... credit where credit's due sister...
