The Three Muses Challenge - Using Newspaper

Poor Rose. All she can afford to clothe herself is newspaper! I painted the face and used a sheet of aged newspaper (from JenU Designs) and a paper rose by Irene Alexeeva.

  14. You surprise me with how beautifully you create art, Marie. Your lady is awesome. I was laughing to myself at the thought of trying to scrub all that newsprint off the body when it is time to hang up her dress! (grins).
