The Elevator Princess

"THE ELEVATOR PRINCESS"

While waiting for the elevator to restart, the princess rued the day she so flippantly declared that learning a third poem was not necessary. 
I'm loving this fun little girl inspired by the Danita Art blog.   Her dress and paper pieced heart are made from some of my fun pretty junk papers.  The quote is from Lemony Snicket and the paper doilies are Maya Road.
The background is a collage of papers/map.  There is even part of an asian newspaper that I got as packaging from a gift that I purchased when we were in NYC a couple years back.  I'm in the habit of saving all snips of paper that look promising.  Even the kids bring me their wrappers from things now.

    Well that couldn't be more darling!I just love Danita too. And that quote is great - I'm suddenly feeling really insecure about being stuck in an elevator, I don't think I'd be entertaining enough!

    What a lovely piece! I was just telling my son the merits of memorizing poetry. He loves Lemony Snicket, I'll have to show him this quote and see if he recognizes it.
