Still Ringin' Around Rosie


Here is the final creation to honor the women, every "Rosie," who stepped up in a time of turmoil, and altered their lifestyle in an effort to better America and support the men they loved. Isn't that a neat "pep-talk" from the women who didn't complain about the situation? They sacrificed and accepted change, not only to find a solution, but to BE the solution.


This ATC started with a base of black and white, and then I paper-pieced Rosie's shirt and headband. A little sparkle was added to the whole card using glitter gel pens, and a small crystal was added to Rosie's collar. Every woman, working or not, needs a little bling. ;) The card was finished off with touches of distressing. Hope you enjoyed a little walk down memory lane--whether you are meeting Rosie for the first time, or have known her all your life, she still exhibits a powerful message, even through an ATC.

My husband made an inchie out of this Rosie the Riveter image that was going around the internet with Sarah Palin's face. I will never see her the same way again - either Rosie or Sarah (lol)

I love the paper piecing over the B&W image - it really pops!
