Little Jo in Her New Blue Dress

She never did look good in prints and this is no exception. But BJ suggested that Little Jo needed a blue flowered dress and this is all we could find in the store.
And regarding the composition of the collage...the roof is tilted about 20 degrees too much, even considering artistic license but once I realized it was wrong the glue had dried. Oh well, it's just an exercise.

I don't know, I think little Jo's dress rocked the roof!

I like the idea of changing her clothes, it's like old fashioned paper dolls!

I like the tilted roof! Fits her "what I am I going to do next" facial expression! Great idea for all those old photos! Patsy from

Art Tip: brush cleaning

As I work with acrylic medium for glue or with acrylic paints I stand my brushes in a bucket of water on my work table and give them a soap and water cleanup every day or so. But eventually my brushes get gunky and sometimes I forget to clean them. That's when I clean them with Murphy's Oil Soap. I keep an inch of MOS mixed 1:1 with water in a tall plastic tub (Feta from Costco) and put caked brushes in that solution overnight. By the next day the soap has softened the brush and with a bit of elbow grease I can get the brushes back to useable. This also works for brushes used with oil paint. I gave up using oils but wanted to save those good brushes and Murphy's Oil Soap came to the rescue. Get it at the grocery store.
