Hello Rialto

I'm packing to spend the weekend swing dancing at the stunning 1920s Rialto Theatre! If I skip a song I'll be drooling at the architecture. My outfit is, of course, flapper inspired, with this gold skirt that I added fringe to. 

Tomorrow night is a masquerade ball! I made this mask out of faux leather that I painted gold and embossed with a single hole punch! Ha! I made it to be compatible with my glasses. So excited for this swing fest!

Masquerade, grandeur, and grace

Born Again Collage

 My Born Again collage is an illustration of the very hopeful Isaiah 40:31. Here's the behind the scenes look at the creation process!

I made the mask out of papier mâché and painted it gold when it was dry.

The background of the collage is a canvas board I covered in tissue paper and painted with acrylic.

I cut out various butterfly shapes from plastic, cardstock, decorative paper, and magazine clippings, as well as the words in the quotation from cardstock painted metallic. I glued them on surrounding the mask.

There you have it!
