I just sudenly decided about a week or so ago that I wanted to change my banner. I started plowing through my collection of vintage ephemera for inspiration. I chose to play and alter the one up you see here. 
First I made several copies and then cut the the main image out. The background is painted with acrylic paints. I touched her up a little bit with pastels and voila! She is almost done. I still feel the pull to play around with this some more. I'm no quite done with her. The mica flakes I used were too big and look like fish scales instead. I need to go back and retake some additional photos.

Ok. There was no way on this planet that I was going to pass this one up with a title like that:

Reminds me of the book I saw the other day from the 1930's entitled "The Impatient Virgin." I can't get this one off my mind. Sounds like it would be a riot to read. Hmmm. If it is still there in a few days....Then it's meant for me to get it right?


I am discovering that it is getting harder and harder to come by music with lovely graphics. I honestly cannot recall that last time that I came across a pile that anything I was interested in.
These are always so pretty when framed.
