What does your creative process look like? For me, some vintage Silver Star tickets sitting on my desk reminded me of the old Beatles song. That inspired me to search through my stash to find the perfect saucy woman.
A lingerie model from a 1940s magazine and several elements from Gypsy Soul, including a silver star, set me on the path to create this mixed media / altered art wagon.

What a fun piece! Clever image and ephemera combination – and that background is super. I see you used embossing powders – is that where you used the powder? It looks terrific!
Thanks Tristan! Yes. I did use the embossing powders on the background
Wonderful project. The wheels are fab and the blue pops. Love the details…especially the stenciling on the box.
Thanks Sarah. The stenciling was almost an after-thought, but I liked how it turned out.
