Sweet Dorothy spent each day sequestered with her telephone switchboard, never imagining that she was interacting with gangsters, belly dancers, and circus performers.

5"x5"x1.5". Dimensional collage featuring original antique yearbook photo (not scan). Background is a 4" x 4" mini-quilt - print quilting cotton bordered with 1/2" yoyos in purple; heavily quilted in a grid with gold metallic thread; encrusted with gold flower sequins and purple glass seed beads. Central image is backed by distressed cardstock, overlaid with a raw brass cameo frame, and accented with skull and all-seeing-eye beads. Antique quote: "Dorothy never had any fate in her life." Wood shadowbox frame is drybrushed in Inca gold, hinged to open, and fitted to hang or stand on a tabletop.
