A spray of wool felt leaves, flowers and floral wire form a kind of crown around her face. Vintage lace slip under the dress, and vintage cotton bloomers. Arms are outstretched with wings that echo the image of the women in the Welty photograph. Fabric shoes replicate the pattern in the dress with very small silk ribbon flowers. She stands on a round base. Seed beads embellish felt border with gold thread stitching
