An Addition for Augusta and an Old Piece Revisited


a little embroidery and lace on my valentine.
"In the era of Victorians prude,
Augusta was entirely tattooed,
Under her petticoats pink,
Lived an abundance of ink,
Which lay hidden unless she were nude."

detail shot!

and all old drawing I have re-done. "The Girl and the Crane"

Bernice, The Bearded Woman


28 x 28 inches, pencil on paper.

Bernice didn't think it was weird,
That she could sprout a full beard,
But who would marry,
A woman so hairy,
Was the only question she feared.

aaaand a close up!
