Darling, it's the Ballet

I had a wonderful time watching one of my favorite PBS series from 1979 called "Lillie" recently. Its about "Lillie Langtry, the  "Jersey girl"  (UK not US. LOL) who had Victorian high society gawping and gossiping as the mistress of the Prince of Wales, later to be Edward VII. She was the only woman Oscar Wilde ever loved; the woman who sent King Leopold of the Belgians packing when he tried to make love to her at breakfast; the woman who created such a sensation that Society ladies stood to catch a glimpse of her." She travelled to America and was on the stage too. I am dedicating this Retro Cafe Art piece to her.

I used lots of RCA supplies including the Ornate Theatre Shrine, Gold Theatre Curtain collageDebrina Pratt Dancer Collage Sheet and Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe cutouts. All the pieces are moveable so I can image plays and ballets and move my little character and sets around.

Hope you will have a week of magical performances this week.
take care, gerri

  18. Dear Gerri
    I adore the interactive nature of this piece.
    She was certainly a very fascinating character and led an interesting life. I've read of her life in books but not seen any television work on her.
    Wishes
