Fairy Tales

List of titles: for description, click on title. Linked titles below lead to a photo on the GALLERY page.

Cinderella
Two life-sized dresses (one raggedy house dress, and one shiny party dress) have text rubber-stamped on the bodices—Peggy Patterson's story about her reluctance to share the Cinderella story with her young daughter, because she didn't want her to get the idea that only a prince could “save” her.
1997, North Bay. 2 pages. (Life-sized) Unique. Collection: University of Calgary.

Someday
A quilted brocade “Dress-up Box” holds prince and princess clothes. Marilyn Zimmerman’s story is rubber- stamped on the five text pages, which are made of handmade paper. The “illustrations” are quilted satins and damask dresses and doublets, along with leather boots and shoes. Thanks to Brenda Belanger for the brocade and to Kim Boaro for introducing me to TIMTEX.
2004, North Bay. Title page plus 11 others and assorted boots and shoes. (Box: 8 x 11″ and 5″ high) Edition of 4. Collection: University of Calgary.
