Rain's Thursday Art Date: Urban Legend

Today is Thursday, which means we're meeting at Rain's for her Thursday Art Date.  This week the theme is Urban Legend.

I'm not sure this is an urban legend, because it isn't creepy.  That is, unless you are like me and actually suffer from this disorder that irritates your skin so badly, you really can feel a pea under your mattress.

This was for a challenge.  I ran a used file folder through my ink jet printer and printed the image of the princess sitting on 20 mattresses and 20 feather beds who was unable to sleep because there was something hard under her bed.  The words were printed on the ink jet printer, too.

The Eye of Providence, or the all-seeing eye of God, seen here on the U.S. dollar bill, and scanned, then printed on my laser printer, has been taken by some to be evidence of a conspiracy involving the Illuminati and the founding fathers of the United States.  You can see where the eye is on the U.S. Dollar bill.  I circled it on the plastic cover of the faux U.S. dollar.  This is in my Money altered book.

This same eye, supposedly an urban legend, is also shown on this two page spread in my Money altered book.

And this last one is not exactly an urban legend, but definitely a legend.  First thought up by Hans Christian Anderson, this fairy tale about a King and his new clothes became the impetus for these two pages I created in one of my altered books.

and Page 2.  I also thought of this as a love story.

 

All altered book art created by me.  Bleubeard was exasperated because he could not pick any urban legends today.  He also suspects I couldn't either.

Thank you ever so much for stopping by.  I am truly grateful to you, my friends, followers, readers, and lurkers for visiting.  Please also join me at Rain's Thursday Art Date where I suspect we'll see some genuine urban legends.
