I love self confident women.  I love the sense of mystery and power that they exude.  I think that a powerful woman has a certain undeniable magic.  It is like everyone knows how hard it is and they somehow listen.  Isn't that what power really is. . . the power to make everyone listen.
 
This collage pictures two very different women.  Both women have a sense of self confidence and mystery.  They could be mother and daughter.  The collage has a painted background with distressed colored wax (crayon) .  I layered different found papers to create a rhythm and interest.  
Since this is a collage in my iris series, here it is, again.
The title paper is from a sewing pattern.  This paper is great stuff.  It is nearly transparent when glued.  The palette is just wonderful.  This one is in a frame hanging on my wall.
