Sisters Paper Dolls

Well, I decided to do a short second series of two paper dolls. One entitled "Michele", after my wonderful sister, and the second, "Ariana", after my sweet sister-in-law. They were then glued on two paper mache hearts and personalized.

"La Vie En Rose" Altered Art Book Inspired by "Sabrina"

Well, I created my first "Altered Art Book" last night. For my birthday I had received a duplicate book entitled "How To Be Lovely" by Melissa Hellstern, so I decided to turn it into art. Audrey Hepburn is one of my favorite actresses and "Sabrina" is one of my favorite classic movies.

My altered art book is divided into three scenes, the first is the opening with Sabrina pining in a tree watching David Larrabee dance with another girl, the second is when she is transformed in Paris writing a letter to her father, and the last scene is when she arrives at the Larrabee party in her beautiful Givenchy ball gown.
