Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date! The theme is 'history'. I put my thinking cap on for this one and came up with an antique crank phone. They are about a hundred years old, even before rotary phones. I understand that an operator would pick up when they heard a ring tone and somehow connect you to your party. The cranking may have been to power the phone somehow. We have come such a long way in that time.
My piece is done in permanent markers outlined with a PITT finepoint marker (6" x 6") textured cardstock.

Brilliant!
Although I never used one of these I do know what it is for!! haha...great job.
Christine, now that's truly a piece of history! What about a phone booth? You just don't see those anymore. I got tickled at DS a couple of weeks ago while we were having lunch with him, he came back declaring he took a picture of pay phone and commented on how you don't see them much and that's true. The age of cell phones have pushed this old technology into near extinction. Great job!
That's really neat Christine! I wouldn't have thought about a phone, but it's true that immobile phones are really a part of history! Thanks so much, well done!! :)
American invention. Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone.
really beautiful Christine!! xo
Nice art
What a super idea.
Phones have certainly come on by leaps and bounds!
Great drawing.
All the best Jan
I love how you put a face on your phone ... so cute. I think the crank rang the operator and then she connected you. Do you remember when we had party-lines? What a hoot ... one sure had to be careful about what they said in those days. No such thing as a secret, Ha! Great post, Christine ...
