Cigar box collage

Since I couldn't get down to any of the doll conferences this year I decided to treat myself to a class at the Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival. I am taking Collage and Mixed Media from Brenda Milan. This is a week long class - from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm. Lots of art time! Three girls that I know are taking the class and we're sitting together and having lots of fun. Today we made a collage inside a cigar box. Learned some fun paint techniques and then we started to build our little people for inside the box. Most everyone did something family oriented - Susan made a collage of her pets, Kris made a collage of her son, Dalonna made a shrine to her grandmother, and me? I'm out in left field as usual. I made a drag queen. Tomorrow we finish it up by covering it with a piece of clear plexiglass that we will transfer words onto. I will take a better photo of this piece tomorrow. There is a lot of innuendo that you can't really see, such as a peacock in one of the window frames. Kai - Dom would appreciate this one!
