Tired of being a 'wall'-flower, Mona dressed up in her 'buttons & bows,' put on her 'best face' and with 'Clara Bow' lips she then ventured out into the Parisian sunshine!

I hope you know the picture in the Louvre is a fake, and Mona is actually travelling the world. Well, of course, you do know that because here she is 'done up to the nines' having a ball. That Mona is a card!
ReplyDeleteOn another note ..... lots of rain, cold enough to have the log burner burning, just a few degrees above freezing at night AND just 6 days until the Summer equinox. A person could get depressed. :O(
Your Mona is just adorable...love her outfit and she is full of herself for sure! That eyeball made me look twice to be sure it was her...LOL
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! Totally zany!
ReplyDeleteHA! I hope she stops by her ophthalmologist's. She seems to have exophthalmia! This is SO clever and fun, Judy. I keep going back for another look....and I keep smiling! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI have seen the tiny little dark painting of Mona Lisa in the Louvre. There she is, languishing away in a dark corridor with signs everywhere asking people not to use their flash cameras (but, of course, they do). Imagine if she knew what she is missing!! This has to be the best Mona ever. She is suitable dressed in and surrounded by buttons and bows and she looks fab-u-lous, dahling!!
ReplyDeleteJudy, you are a legend!! I love your art and I love your sense of humour.
oh what a fun piece...love the components!!! this is one special Mona!!!
ReplyDeleteHa ha Judy this is incredible.
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful design and great sense of humor. Stunning work.
Judy, I just love your version of Mona! She's sure going to have a great night out with her new outfit. Thank you for making me smile and feel good!
ReplyDeletethis is hilarious!! never seen a mona in better style!! bravo!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, very snazzy Mona indeed. Her bows suit her!
ReplyDeleteHow fun, Judy! Her gorgeous outfit is sure to catch the eye of some Parisian guy. I'm with Bev on this one. I think she needs to see the eye doctor or else wear sunglasses in the hot Parisian sun. Wonderfully created.
ReplyDeleteThis is just fantastic, Judy. Such a great idea. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteOff the wall - I really like it!
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks cool.
ReplyDeleteYuhuuu :) How cool is this?!! Love your fantastic, fun and creative take on the theme!! She's just wonderful!! Standing ovations to you my friend!!!
