An original mixed media collage that combines vintage materials with found objects tells a unique story. Weaving texture and pattern with color and tone lends a contemporary voice to these recycled elements. Mounted on an old marbled book cover, the collection of sewing paraphernalia surrounds the photo of a young women. The invented story of Myrtis is included on the back of the collage. This collage is part of my “Everyday Women” series.

The collage foundation is a 8” x 10” x .875” birch cradle box which has been painted in a complimentary tone. It is wired and ready to hang wherever you wish to enjoy viewing it.
