I think at least half the time which went into this one was making the little flower cutouts hit the exact angles that I wanted. lol

I first cut and scanned a dummy/stencil version in white paper. Using one of those customized scrapbook handled punchers got from a yard sale years ago. I can see why the old owner (quickly) got tired of it. Very easy to tear the paper trying to remove it after it's cut.

Long horizontal rectangle. Mostly in buttery and bronzy yellows. But also some red, blue, and green. At left, a 1940s black and white photo. A woman in profile  wearing a smock-like coat leans over a work table. She is concentrating hard.  Very simple 1950s line drawings of cheering housewives watch her from a distance, through cutout window shapes.  The scene is tinted yellow. A vise sits waiting in front of her. At center: a giant, painted wooden apple in front of upside-down 1950s white sans serif text. This was an ad for lathes and other shop tools. The apple has a dark blue "bite" which also contains some of the same text. At right: bright green planks are arranged to form a capital E. Trim: a few washers, spangles, gems, and two copies of the vise angled in mid air at right like they were robot birds.
