Queen of Hearts

11″ x 14″ Mixed media collage on watercolor paper

The Queen of Hearts, she is a mysterious one. One minute she is jolly and smiles, a moment later she srceams “off with their head!” It’s a confusing game and you are wise to not play, she lures with her lies, but it always ends with you as her prey!

I feel silly posting that.😅 I occasionally dabble in writing poetry, it’s hard not to get inspired by all YOU real writers, but I rarely feel my writing is good enough to post. I’m going to try and push myself out of my comfort zone and write more this year, goal. 😉

I hope you find this mixed media collage to be pleasing to the eye. It’s a mix of acrylics, watercolor, gouache, pen, cut-up paintings, and magazine clippings. It turned out to be a bright and festive piece that will look lovely framed, matted, and hanging on your wall! Click here to see available framing and matting options!

    I can see her wicked tongue, but also a zebra leg. Looks like she’s earned her stripes. I really like her, Tiff.

    Beautiful and exuberant mystery! I ♥️ the colors and how you’ve woven together those intriguing elements!! And: Hooray for your poem! It’s terrific! Please forgive this if I’ve misnterpreted anything but WOWEE I LOVE an “Alice in Wonderland”/”Alice Through the Looking Glass” reference!! You brought its vibe to life, in image & words!

      Hi Robin!!! Thank you so much! Yes, I was thinking along the lines of Alice in Wonderland, it was either that or posting the old Juice Newton video, I think I like the poem better! 🤣🙏

    I’ve always felt that WordPress is a safe place for trying out stuff. So let the poetry loose, we aren’t judgey.
