The Teapot Tuesday this week, we are supposed to come to a Halloween party in a costume reflecting a favorite historical or literary character. I am currently reading "Z," a book about F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, so I decided to come as a flapper from the '20s, the good times for F and Z.
I found this image on the web and colored with pencils. I put it on a silver frame and added a ribbon and faux button embellie. I just came across that ribbon the other day when I was looking for something else in my stash. I'm sure I got it on Christmas clearance at Mike's or Hobby Lobby last year or the year before -- it's an open weave with tinsel-ish blue and silver strands. It looks very current, and I just pulled some strands off to tie in the button.
It's Tickle a Teapaotter week, when we send our cards to each other. Come join the fun.

Wow, what perfect ribbon to add to the period feel of your flapper girl. And what lovely colours, too - you found a beautiful disguise for the party, Sandy.
