the senora visits the other side-i’m donating this piece to fiberart for a cause-collage mania 2009. this is a wonderful fundraiser for the american cancer society -the auction starts on may 5th.  i sewed vintage papers and ephemera to create a patchwork background. the senora’s dress (and her wonderful hat) are original antique paper doll clothes from the ladies home journal, circa early 1900’s. the flowers are cut from antique lace-that i handpainted with fabric paint and beaded.

ole!
