I love old movies, especially silents and films made in the 1930’s.  I rarely watch anything “recent”, although I do want to see “The King’s Speech” because it looks amazing and well-acted.  Also, Colin Firth=yummy. 

I would have been in my glory in the 30’s with those fabulous clothes, art deco designs, and handsome men in fedoras and suits with suspenders.  Yes, I have a thing for suspenders. And fedoras. And cufflinks. Basically any man that looks like Cary Grant works for me.

This collage was inspired by the smokey, film noir classic “Gilda” starring Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford.  My barcode collages (like this one) are simple linear pieces and I usually don’t have a plan when I’m picking the papers out-I just go with what I’m feeling at the time.  And this time I was feeling like a femme fatale.
