HAPPY DAYS Project 
Collages and mixed media works of this project are made with cutting famale magazines from '50 (images, embroidery design and advertising), illustrations from "young ladies books", handmade lace from my family, watercolored paper.

 BOTANICAL CHARACTERS
 I created this serie thinking about one of the "botanical characters" that I constantly see popping up everywhere (on my desk, among the books on the shelves, behind hedges and flower pots, among the bushes and tree foliage).
The works are made with cotton and polyester yarns, recycled artificial flowers, plastic elements, buttons, plastic toys
Let me show you two of them

DOLLHOUSE - RUINS OF A CHILDHOOD
CASA DI BAMBOLA - MACERIE DI UN'INFANZIA
I found some doll house furniture in a old box... It seems to be ruins of a lost childhood.
Ho trovato in una vecchia scatola alcuni mobili da casa di bambola... Sembrano macerie di un'infanzia perduta.
