It was actually included in the one of my design subjects at uni many moons ago (way before computers were being used for everything), and we still had to do everything by hand.CurlyPopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073292585833387749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30475482.post-52178737453782468822010-01-13T09:35:39.502+11:002010-01-13T09:35:39.502+11:00i think it's because they don't have that ...i think it's because they don't have that sterile computer finish you can get now - they look as if they have been produced by graphic artists - love the colours and the simplicityred road studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09159432775399724272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30475482.post-19170345645973543222010-01-13T09:22:01.077+11:002010-01-13T09:22:01.077+11:00Having grown up with redhead matches, and being to...Having grown up with redhead matches, and being totally in love with that red head image as a child, it's so wonderful to still see them around. I used to love the different designs they'd bring out. Sometimes she'd have slightly longer, or more curly hair, or longer lashes, etc. Fantastic post by the way! Love it. :)inaluxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16064976778005693239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30475482.post-1229301329238600552010-01-13T09:18:57.938+11:002010-01-13T09:18:57.938+11:00OMG, what a coincidence!

I've loved redheads matches since I was very young - probably because I'm a rehead too and it made it seem OK to have red hair in a time when others said it wasn't.
