Here's my contribution to Lee and Janet's 6x6 feminine swap.
My wacky female figure is actually a child's creation that was hanging in my friend Petra's kitchen. As a teacher, Petra is gifted lots of hand-made goodies from the kids.
Of course nobody can hang onto everything, but this particular one is somewhat of a mascot. Petra offered to give her to me, but I declined and just photographed it instead.
She's got a crumbling paper-mache head, cotton hair, a shiny gold crown and toothpick limbs. She's wearing a pink go-go outfit with Michael Jackson style shoulder pads.
Even the photo haunts me a bit. Or at least it holds me in awe!! Clearly feminine, but equally spooky. The perfect balance in any woman...
The swap partner I was assigned is from Kelly's Art Journaling and she's already posted her 6x6. Check it out, her work reminds me of mandalas, it's so beautiful. How lucky am I? A big shout of "thanks" to Janet and Lee again for organizing the fun.
Hope y'all have a creative weekend!
Yea! I'm so happy to see what everyone is doing for the swap. It's fun to see how each person interprets the theme. I really like your quirky piece.
PS - no, I didn't get your name for Hanna's swap....sorry!

Quirky is right -- I hope it doesn't terrify my swap partner!! LOL.
I was trying to think what the statistical possibilities were of me getting a postcard from you if there are 280 players all making 10 cards...then my ears started smoking and I gave up!!

I think it looks like she has wings for flying, and I like that thought. :-)
