This fairy tale collage was created in response to Creativity Contest #2 where artists were to submit on the theme of . . . you guessed it: Halloween. I have fond memories of my mother sewing the flowing red cape for my halloween costume as Little Red Riding Hood.
In the 1960's as a little girl, kids were lined up at the homes where people generously gave out candies. You never forget the taste of those delicious candy apples on a stick, popcorn balls, chewy caramels and Halloween goodies. As you can see, I added the text Once Upon a Time and found a pattern from McCall's pattern for sewing a Little Red Riding Hood outfit although I'm sure my mother didn't use a pattern back then.
