Marie was all cut up.
How could he have trifled with her so?
“Enough!” she said and on went the new frock.
Time to rejoin society.

Thank you to Trishia Jacobs Carney of French Kissed Postcards for the gift of the Eiffel girl postcard. I hope you like what I have done with her.
Thank you to Alwen of Belle Brocante for the lovely old document and for the inspiring day that gave me a start on this project. See Art Play Date for details.
Absolutely wonderful! One of my favourites of your compositions.
Why thank you Richard, I am happy with her.
Wow. Fabulous compositions!
Thank you. 🙂
Wilma, I am so honored that you used my Eiffel lady and made her look so good:)!! I’m especially happy that she wised up and got over that loser. My vision may be playing tricks on me but it looks like you have three layers: her in the background, then the French script (luv it!) and her again cut up. I like the way that background layer fills in the gaps in her dress. I could “get lost” just looking at that right side. I’m drawn in and taken back in time, examining each detail, to ferret out Marie’s love story. Remerciements!
Yes there are several layers to this…just for fun I layed her down and then layered her over text and deconstructed her before re assembling her over herself. I do not know if she has a multi-layered personality but let’s hope so. 🙂
Better a multi-layered personality than a split personality:)hehe
The tower woman is great and her hat is a great touch. 🙂
Yes she was a gift from a blog follower. People can be so kind. She said that my blog gave her such inspiration that she wanted to give me something back. So i tried to make something special with her.
that’s really cool! it’s amazing how open and giving people on the net can be.
Trifling with the Eiffel is always worth it!
great composition! Captures that unique Paris vibe
Thank you, good to hear 🙂
