In today’s challenge we are looking at "Saloon Girls"
A Women's roles in the Wild West remained somewhat limited. Though women might accompany their families on migrations to the territories, many of them depended on their male family members to hold down a job for financial support. Those who became saloon girls, however, occasionally had more options.
There are a lot of modern misconceptions about Old West saloons and the saloon girl's occupation. For example, many of the women served as unconventional servers or dancers. And while their lives may not have been glamorous, saloon girls possessed unique freedoms.
Their lives could be difficult and dangerous, but these painted ladies were trailblazers in American
My challenge today is to create a layout using lace or doilies or even Ric Rak braid something that reprehensive of the girls’ clothes
The second part of the challenge is used torn paper, in these saloons the men would often brawl, so the torn paper representative of the broken furniture
Have some fun
