Ladywing #2 is a 12×12 collage. Vintage image from a 1954 Good Housekeeping was scanned and then printed on linen paper, hand colored with Prang pencils and ink pen. Paper doll dresses were created from cardstock (K&Co~Que Sera Sera) and embellished with hats, and wings of my own design and construction. Pale pink & fuschia adhesives gems for earrings and necklace, ring. Sash on belted dress is mounted with pop dot for 3D illusion. Dolls placed on remains of two 12×12 sheets from the Sasha Collection.

Image was then scanned and uploaded to add text in photoshop. I played around with different effects and posted a cropped ‘watercolor” version on Flickr. This is the “text” version…

My friend, Kirsten,  was accused of being a “Decepticon” by her boyfriend, David (who will be attending the Star Trek movie with us tomorrow) when  she was being sneaky but attempting to look innocent. We tagged the header for the movie trailer voice over…”don’t be fooled, she is really a Decepticon!” on our lunch break one day. For more info on what David was alluding to see

I love the idea that men can be hoodwinked by a pretty smile and good make-up. These two Ladywings are definitely up to no good.

The caption on the image is sort of lost to me now-but that last line is French for, “Where is Mother and Father?”
