and now for something completely different . . .

Okay, it's not a Thanksgiving project, or a Christmas project, or
something having anything remotely to do with the latest Altered 
Pages challenge . . . however, it just goes to show how Altered Pages
really DOES have pretty much any collage image you may need!

I joined an altered rolodex swap, and the theme was Josephine Baker
Do you recognize the name?  Most people probably do, she was a
remarkable woman with outstanding talent.  And of course, Altered
Pages has the goods--check out this fabulous page of images!

This is the front of the card--the back has another image, and the
swap/contact info:
 Have a great weekend, everyone!

  1. Love Josephine! Love that song! (I remember when Perry Como tried to sing it - couldn't hold a candle to Josie's version!). Your background (as always) is unique and intriguing.

    Lovely card!

  3. Good grief, work and things like eating and sleeping do have an annoying way of getting between us and our art time, don't they?

  4. This collage has been one omy favorites. Even though she spent most of her career in Europe, I can envision the Cotton Club and the great vibes that must have been felt in her era. My hometown of Pittsburgh was a huge influence on music, particularly black jazz and soul. A number of famous singers and musicians came from the Pgh area in the 40's and 50's. (Perry Como among them) Fabulous Job Trisha! YOu took me down memory lane, that is what art is about! Stirring emotion.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
