Old Mam'selle's Secret

Old Mam'selle's Secret 11 x 14"

The back ground of this piece is an upholstery sample ($1.00 at a local fabric store) adhered to canvas board with heavy gel medium. Gold metallic lace lines the left side and beaded trim fills the "window" of the Cafe des Fleurs. Velvet leaves and a silk flower adorn the upper left hand corner and a vintage book cover, that gives the collage its name, graces the right. Two scraps of rusted metals add to the mystery of Mam'selle's secret. Available at this fall's Open Studios Tour.
