A Trip to the Theater...Did The Queen Lose a Slipper?





Today's journey to Versailles carried me to the Théâtre de la Reine, where I happily watched her Royal Highness dance a perfect Minuet...but as she faded away...I believe she left behind one of her magical slippers...

This toy theater was made for a swap I am hosting on the Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group. It is to go to the very talented and debonair Tristan Robin Blakeman! I am sure he will love dreaming about the Queen and her exploits as he gazes on this peepshow into the past...Most of the materials are vintage and I think this turned out to be a beautiful work of art!

The slipper is probably going to be my entry in the altered shoe swap on the same site. It is mixed media, with a beautiful glass glittered Queen embellishment. I like the ghostly quality of the Marie image on the ornament. La Reine must be more careful concerning her dancing slippers...
