Dressed to design

Things never go where you expect them to. Today while I was trying to decide which papers to use to make little party dresses for Paper Quilt cards,  I came across the little booklet I picked up from the National Portrait Gallery's "Heads and Tales, Portraits tell stories" exhibition. Decided to nick some of the *images from it,  cutting out detail from the cloth areas the subjects are wearing, far more interesting than scrapebooking paper. The next step may include crackle medium and chicken wire - watch this space.

*Just for future reference - Self portrait with gladioli 1922 George Lambert, Kay Cottee 1993 Pamela Thalben-Ball, Dr John Yu 2003-4 Ah Xian)
