Looming Large in Patsy's Recurring Rural Nightmare Was the Image of Her Friend Betty Who Was Beheaded by a Freak Accident With a Thresher on Her Uncle's Farm


Man...that would be a NIGHTMARE!

Peaceful rural scene is an end-paper from a vintage American Heritage History of the United States.  Sleeping beauty is clipped from a vintage magazine ad for blankets.  And "Betty" is from an ad in a 1950 copy of GRAPHIS 31 - An International Journal for Graphic & Applied Art.

    Love the colors in this one, Angie, and I believe this is the first time I've seen the words "thresher" and "beheaded" in a collage title...pretty fab!

    Whoa—fantastic concept, well-executed! Being a splatter fan, I wish you had made the beheaded head look a little more....well, beheaded. =laugh=

    I love it and don't mind the lack of splatter :)

    Thank you everyone. I debated about splatter and decided to let everyone's imagination imagine that!
