Yellow Submarine

I loved this Challenge. It was like a walk down memory lane revisiting my teen years. Yellow Submarine was composed by Paul McCartney in 1966, the year before I graduated from high school. I remember well the "hippy era" with all the peace symbols, love beads, flowers and butterflies. It was a time when "All You Need is Love." I chose the background fabric because it seemed rather psychadelic. I couldn't believe I found the border fabric in my stash, which has peace symbols as the center of the flowers. I printed out the Beatles' picture with the Yellow Submarine from the Internet onto fabric. I downloaded the free Yellow Submarine font and printed out the words OK, Love and Yes, as well as phrases from the song onto fabric: "So we sailed up to the sun, Till we found a sea of green And we lived beneath the waves.We all live in a yellow submarine." The Yellow Submarine represented the escapists of the 1960's. The song was made into a movie in 1999, so I used the "Blue Meanies", the Flying Hand, and the green apple from the movie. I added heart-shaped beads to represent the Love Generation. I printed out Paul McCartney's signature on "The Hard Day" album cover onto fabric and added that in the upper corner. It was fun creating this collage. Thank you for a great challenge.
