For those who follow my designs, you may remember Humarock – a neat little summer vest published during the summer of 2015. It’s shown below with a photograph supporting my motivation – Dad and me at its namesake beach sometime in the 60’s (I know the year, but let’s leave it at that).
It’s what I jumped from when pondering my latest design, this time for winter.
Following my seasonal theme, while Humarock was cast in warm summer light, this winter version spoke to me of a turbulent ocean in howling winds. Too poetic? probably, though I do enjoy the tidy package – that even includes my new hair color of late! Oy.
And just for fun, I have a supporting family photo for this version too, that made me laugh out loud.
Taken during a Sunday drive to a random destination (Revere beach, I’d guess), Dad snapped the photo just as a wave broke at our feet. Marlene’s low cut driving boots did not save her. I remember the incident, though not exactly what she said – perhaps for the best.
