Mixed Media Muses

My muses shown here with first layer of papers.  I kept the Victorian lady's arm because I thought it was pretty, and would add some more interest to the final piece.Mixed Media Muses - image 1 - student projectMixed Media Muses - image 2 - student project

Final results for my muses.  I have a large stash of Victorian scraps, so some were added here.  The butterflies on the dresses were printed on card stock and folded at edges of body, then only the body was glued so the wings could be bent up.  Vintage millinery flowers are held in the hand  and an old scrap bouquet was "tucked" into the crook of her elbow.  Victorian scraps and silk ribbons were also incorporated.  This was such a fun project!  I am going to put these lovely ladies in a shadow box frame.
