Janey, who witnessed the moon landing in 1969!
Using various graphic design elements and techniques, I (Jane) have created a whimsical celestial motif which is at once retro and futuristic, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. This is a sentimental collaboration across 4 generations of women in my family. Little Janey, the doll, Super Girl and Astronaut, is 65 years old, and was hand made by my grandmother and great-grandmother, for my mother (Wendy) when she was a baby in the 1950s! The design features splashes of rainbow colours and starbursts, against an inky blue backdrop of space. The moon itself was photographed (hand-held at 50x zoom) by my mother, I photographed Little Janey the doll playing Space Princess, and then I digitally crafted the final design and layout.
Stellar!
This design is one of our series showcasing Little Janey, the hand made doll who has been in our family for over 60 years. See her other adventures in the collection!
Customised pattern sizes welcome, for your individual projects. Message us.
