"Altered"


I haven't been making cards this week, but I have been catching up on some ATC swaps and
this is for one coming due in December. I had to make an altered Mona Lisa. And I wanted it to be her and not just the background that was altered. But what? I had started doing some
cutting to piece together the photo of her sitting so serene in her chair. And there it was. I used her hands in her lap and placed her head in such a way that it looks like she is lying on herstomach with her head on her arms. And so my altered lady was born. I used ribbon and dimensionals to raise her head and added a crystal. And used stickles to brighten up her dress. She's an old fashioned girl in a modern pose.
