secrets of being a woman

mixed media fabric collage constructed on a frame

from inside an old photo album cover.

layers of vintage lace, silk sari ribbon,

muslin and tapestry embellished

with crystal beads and pearl trim.

beneath the quote are layers of vintage and discarded papers

 including cardboard, tea bags, dryer sheets, text,

tissue paper and bird's nest.

it wouldn't be complete without a birds nest! 

made from wire and mohair

i've tucked a tiny egg-shaped white turquoise bead inside.
