Rain's Thursday Art Date - History



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.
