Hello everyone...happy weekend. Hope you're all decked out, festive inside and out! What a great site you chose today, Anne. I loved the rustic look and feel to the objects de art. So so many cool things there...but it was this driftwood mirror that sparked my creativity this evening.
This mirror has so much texture and I love the reflection within. So my challenge was to create that reflection using my gorgeous '60's lady dressed for a lunch date at one of the downtown department stores. She's checking her reflection one more time before she heads out the door. I used mirror paper underneath the shell mirror (Stamp Francisco). My lady is a B Line Designs named 'Anticipation'. I dressed her with Basic Grey houndstooth from the Figgy Pudding group. Pearls for her buttons and a hand dyed silk ribbon made into the flower on her hat.
I'd love to hear what you think about the Oscar Wilde quote: One should either WEAR a work of art or BE a work of art. I say we are fortunate WE can do both!
Thanks so much for commenting...and I am hoping your weekend has some artful time, just for you.

Awesome, awesome job on this card!! I love the paper piecing and I love how you made it show in the mirror. I love that quote, and I have been told that I am a work of art - that's a good thing, right?!

What a great quote. Susan, your details amaze me! The mirror reflection of your pieced outfit is genius and love the embellished hat too. Love, love, love this.
I hope you are enjoying glorious sunshine on your side of the hill today like we are!
