Stripes, Polka Dots and Patterns

I wanted to do another journal page entry for Art Journal Journey and so I thought of using some magazine collaging for a change from my usual Dylusion figures.  In this case the figure, to fit in with the criteria is wearing a top that is striped.  Erika has asked for either polka-dots, stripes, plaids or patterns and if you look there are polka-dots and patterns forming the frame around the journal page.  You don't have to include them all so I only included what I could find.


This was done in the style of Teesha Moore by cutting various patterns from a magazine to provide the frame for the central figure who is sitting on a brayered background.

Not too unlike my Dylusion figures this one is made up from various bit of magazine pictures.  The head is separate from the body and the bow in her hair is actually from a perfume bottle.  Her skirt is a handbag which I thought could be used in this way.  I love the pattern on her fishnet tights and the way her shoes lace up provide us with yet another pattern.  I doubt very much I could walk in anything with a heel that height these days.  What about you?

Now I have the 'bug' for doing more of these so watch out, Erika I will be back.

Just realised I have cut the border off from the base of the page.  When I saw it as a thumbnail prior to publishing I didn't realise it was my page.  Oops!
