This journal page was inspired by a quote by Kennedy Fraser;
"I haven't got a thing to wear does not, of course, mean that we must resort to nakedness or seclusion; it means that our wardrobes contain nothing that might match our mood or offer a just reflection of our current lives". He also states that "Clothes have a life that is quite independent of their shape and colour". I find this is so true. My mood can change depending on what I wear - it amazes me how I can be influenced by this!
I thought to go along with this quote I would 'undress' my journal page and show you the progression I went through to get to the finished page. What do you think - are you willing to listen to the tale that the threads of your life have woven?

| I stamped all over the page in my journal. |
 |
| Applied some acrylic paint with a credit card. |
 |
| Cut out flowers from magazines. |
 |
| Selected my 'model' from a magazine. |
 |
| Tore up bits of an old book and applied with gel medium |
 |
| Found more bits to add, the hair is actually curtains from a magazine. |

Wow! VonnieMay, your collages are becoming more and more amazing with every one you post. I especially like the curtains for hair and the dress made up of bits of old book! Have you now become the mad old lady to collects every scrap of paper and fabric? Bet you have.. :-) Vxo
