My mixed media faerie series. It was like dressing paper dolls. lol
Fun making the wings and outfits from scraps of paper, ribbon, cheesecloth, and used paper towel. The "frames" are molding paste through a stencil, and enhanced with metallic paint. 😊☀️

Looking at my quilt photos as a distraction from the madness all around us. “Modern Marriage” is a DWR with a modern twist, meant as a reflection that a loving partnership between two people can have many forms, with or without a marriage certificate, and between any two people regardless of gender.
