Now what would the genteel readers of Godey's Lady's Magazine make of this reinterpretation of the fashion plate found in the November 1865 issue? I'm not sure. But when I spotted this pair - part of a larger plate in bad condition - their dresses screamed Halloween. So, into the Halloween file they went. I resisted the urge to dress them up more. Keeping it simple allows viewers to focus on the details of the lovely, hand-painted dresses. 4.75" x 4.75" on archival mat board. Matted to fit a standard 9" x 9" frame. $55 + $7 shipping & handling
Collage 365: I'm mad, mad, mad about paper. After years of writing, I'm now storytelling through daily collage making. I rely on used materials from antique/vintage images & ephemera to found & recycled objects.
