Mim asked that we make the theme about women.
Strong, smart, magical...every woman :)
I looked back over my illustrations I've done the past couple of years and made copies of my Wallfowers and my Bagladies. Guess what? There were nine of them. NINE!! Kismet.
I printed them out on the finest photo paper and made a collage of them. I'm letting them stand alone/together. No words are needed on that page.
For the back page I wrote a short poem to describe them and all women out there.
To describe us.
Wallfowers and Bagladies,
Strong.
Independent.
Thinkers, dreamers, doers.
Conquering fears,
persuing dreams,
rising to the top
like the finest cream.
Here's to women everywhere!
Thank you Kj for your editing services ;)
Love these pages for Mim...hope none of us are or will be bagladies unless that means something other than poor and living in the streets pushing a shopping cart of old cans.

Lovely collection of drawings and paintings Lolo!!! Bravo.
I should have said that my "Wallflowers" are ladies painted against patterned backgrounds and my "Bagladies" were painted on paper bags :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I post it on my blog I'll note that.
Thank you Lynn!
