Lily



Last week I finished this mixed media portrait
of my friend Lorna's granddaughter Lily.
The hair is fabric, the bow is made from ribbon
and the face, dress and collar are paper.
I used the edge of a paper doily to trim 
the collar, and pigma pens and colored pencils for the face.
Oh, and the buttons are real, of course!

These are photos and they don't really show the shiny fabrics
of the hair, also the fact that the matting is white,
but it was too big for my scanner.

This was a very time consuming project,
but well worth it in the end!
