Thank you Diana, Brenda, Peter, Carole, & Margaret. This was so much fun that it was hard to stop. There are many different elements in this - I noticed a bit of a nostalgia to it too - my hubby calls her a "Las Vegas Xmas showgirl" - the blue tissue/napkin is a fan behind her, to him, and the glitter ! This process has my head reeling with ideas for more creations....Happy Holidays to you all!

11x15 inches collage, mix~media, watercolor & white gouache rolled on rough wc paper. A whole lot of fun creating this collage, just letting it develop as I cut and paste and stamp, and roll colors and some metallics. Glue on various cutouts from old Xmas cards, tissues, print music, cutout felt hearts, create Girl from old photo from 1920's, apply lace. Colored pencils to various photocopies of images.
