Star Spangles and Ruffles.


For ages I have wondered what to use the pictures from two calenders by the artist Gil Elvgren.  Although I love the style of painting and the era they come from, some of the girls are quite scantily clad.  I was pleased to find a use for one of them here and after adding a royal blue ribbon ruffle and a few red star spangles (ooh try saying that after a few beers), it gives quite an all American girl look.

The art journal page is for week 4 of Q52 which had the question 'When I look into my eyes I see....'

  1. I love what you've done with the ribbon. The question is quite thought provoking so I'm going to have a think about what I see.
