I have these funky weird flashcards ...
I picked them up at the
senior center thrift store
I've been gessoing them and including them as a thank you note to packages that go out
But some are just so weird.
Like these about women:
"She works very rapidly, but her garrilous tongue nullifies the effect of this good quality"
"Take your girl home by the circuitous route"
Really?
Or: "She had a special knack for serving condiments in new and unusual receptacles"
And sprinkled in there are a few about communism and junk:
"The protagonist of communism was brought before the investigating committee"
"The FBI devotes particular attention to groups that seem subversive"
"The ideology of communism cannot be accepted in a democracy"
The good old days, right?

I have lots of flash cards, but have never seen any like these. They are really unique, quirky, and definitely a sign of their times. I think whatever you paid for that box of flash cards, they are truly fantastic.
Those are fabulous, what a find. Some of the old things regarding women just crack me up. "we've come a long way baby"....lol
These were downright hilarious! Thank you for sharing!
Quite funky and perfect to play around with. Never seen them either, how cool. xox
Gosh those are little time capsules of concern LOL!
I'm sure that your transformation of the cards brings out the best in them dear Kimmie ♥
