The last Monas, #28, 29 and 30

#28

 Here they are, the last of the 30 Mona Lisa postcards that I altered when we were in Paris, winter of 2012.

I fell in love with this ubiquitous image, not because it was THE Mona Lisa, but because I could get so many of her and play, play, play.

#29

#30

I hope you enjoyed seeing her in a new way. Which one is your favorite. So far, I've got one vote for #11.

And, a reminder, these were all done old school. Cut and paste, no digital changes.

More Mona's - #13, 14, and 15.

#13 SOLD

#14

#15

As I wrote earlier, these are all cut and paste collages that I did while we were in a 2 month residency in Paris. I hadn't looked at them since we returned, when I popped them into a folder and tucked them away. It was so much fun to see them again.

I encourage everyone to find a Mona image and alter it! Really, do it. It'll make you smile.

Altering the Mona Lisa, the first 3 of 30

SOLD

 In January of 2012, I began a series of altered Mona Lisa postcards while we were in Paris at Cite International des Arts, where my husband had a residency.

I became a bit obsessed with buying the ubiquitous Mona Lisa cards, especially since I found them at a great price at the book store: Monalisait. 

I have 30 of the cards in my possession. I may have sent off one or more, but I can't remember. I do remember that I had a fun time coming up with different ways to alter Mona.

 UPDATE: 17 Aug 20924 It appears that there still are two Monalisait store in Paris.
