To begin, distress an oversized playing card with sand paper and ink. Layer papers to create the base for your piece.
Mold your Charlotte doll and allow to dry for 2-3 days. Press the mouth area gently to flatten and essentially eliminate the mouth prior to drying. Paint with Luminarte Twinkling H2O's. This gives her a shimmer that suits her femininity.
Assemble the piece and add text.
You see, in much of the world women are still seen as a lesser being. They are told to keep quiet. To speak only when spoken to. To hold only the opinions of their fathers and husbands. Even here in countries where this is not obvious like the US, UK, and the like... we often find that many women are STILL, to this day, in these free and modern countries, put down and thought less of simply for being female. This piece speaks out against such treatment. It calls attention to the problem and forces us to face it. Woman are strong. Woman are capable. Woman are equal.
i really like this... although dark, it evokes an awareness... hopefully it will do the same for others...

Great job Jen! Women should realize that they have a place in this world and that they are not second class citizens.
