Little Sister No. 21 | Need a Plumber in Manhatten?

I'm officially in love with this Little Sister.  Of course, I think her message is sooo relevant and something I'm thinking a lot about right now as storms of all kinds ravish our world.  But, from an artsy-fartsy perspective, I positively swoon over the array of materials in this one tiny (5"x6") piece of art.

Her wings and halo are made from hand painted phone book pages.  Yes, Miss Hotel Owner, I'm that person.  But really, if you're at a fancy-schmancy hotel in New York City, how many people staying in room 913 are going to need a plumber?  And who uses a phone book anymore, anyway?  Based on that alone, I almost pinched the whole book but it was heavy and I wanted my bag in the overhead bin!  Isn't it a lovely shade of magenta now?  Love that phone book texture


Her hair is security-envelope turquoise.  Thanks, Mr. Right!  And her face is vintage ledger paper.  I'm getting crazier and crazier about square cheeks, I think....
