From Russia with love
This is a 51/2”X7” Collage from a series of Collages titled “Women around the world through time”. I love traditional costume and fashion, and I also have an affinity for foreign culture. Combine this with my love of papers, paper arts, found and handmade objects and you get my formula for the collages you will find in this series. The focal piece of art in each were created by me and drawn onto a shrink material and measure about 1”X2”. This piece contains several layers of paper, acetate and handmade papers,along with confetti and diamond dust. The 3d onion domes were just a bit of kirigami that I thought added some nice dimension and texture to the piece. It looks so much better in person than the scanner or camera can capture.

Thank you so much Denise. Since I can’t convey what I feel about each piece in words, I try to do so with the texture and colors. This came across just right to me. I am glad it worked.
