An interesting combination of papers. I like the fact that there are "residues" of their former states of being. Like the music notes in the hair. Really very cool.
I used to hate peas too! I think that's because as a kid, I only had them out of a can and straight up. But as an adult, I know how tasty peas can be when fresh peas are quickly blanched, rolled in a lemon-garlic butter sauce, and sprinkled with bits of crispy bacon. Yum!
My favorite parts of this piece are her shoes and the peas. I don't know if the library cards are part of a bigger project, but I like the idea very much.
thank you for dropping by my small corner of the world - feel free to look around and hopefully be a little ( or a lot!) inspired by what you see. Please be honest & considerate when using any of my work or images as "inspiration" - after all nobody appreciates a copy cat....
So many lovely colages:)

Reminds me of my current favourite children's book, Lauren Childs, 'The Princess and the Pea". Even the collage style.

The small people just get better - Ethel has great fashion sense (I love her 'layered look').
