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. With a quilt of complimentary and vintage fabrics in the background, the invented story of Muriel begins…”Muriel decided to leave the suitors behind and built a life of her own.” This collage is part of my “Everyday Women” series.

The collage foundation is a 12” x 16” x .875” birch cradle box with strips of original vintage blue prints covering the box edges and sides. It is wired and ready to hang wherever you wish to enjoy viewing it.
