okay, I’m done with the collar

04_07_0Lady-wing #1 is an 8×10 Collage~vintage image, cut and pasted paper dress/wings/bonnet all hand made by me using printed designer paper(Sasha Collection), distress ink, pastel, ink pen,
paper punched flowers, background page from Sasha Collection (Prima).

Although you may mistake her for Sarah Jessica Parker, this model is probably 75 years old by now. I found her in a 1952 Good Housekeeping magazine for a Kotex advertisement! She had a drab beige Dior gown that screamed: Dress Me Up!

She is very popular now with her new flowery dress and big wings. But she needs to see the chiropractor since the collar necklace has been around her neck for 57 years.

This image was not retouched except for eye make-up done with ink pen and distress ink on her gloves.

Number One in the Lady-wing series.

About briedah

there is a tendency to list accomplishments and other meaningless demographics here...I am not that ambitious or organized but feel compelled to create art as a way to cope with my physical pain, loneliness and anxiety. i am delightfully candid about my past exploits but currently struggle with my powerlessness over a life long addiction to sugar. these new pages with focus on change, behavior triggers, dreams and reactions to life stressors shall help me voice my pain and frustration. the next six months i will try to un-do some of the insanity that has caused me to neglect my health and my soul...in december 2011 i am scheduled for bariatric surgery, a procedure that will be a tool to help me lose 100 pounds. the quick fix is no longer an option.
