An artist asked how I transported Miss Macy.

Here are some behind the scenes showing Miss Macy in pieces. Thank you to Crystal Nelson for taking the photos that documented the wackiness.

If you look closely in the image below, you’ll see a mannequin head. That is Miss Agnes from Amazon. She wore Macy’s handmade paper hole punch wig to prevent it from getting disheveled during transport.

It is true that Miss Agnes was the original muse for the paper hole punch dress. But that’s a story for another day. On the bright side, the two models are no longer fighting.

I will be gallery sitting on September 13, from 10 am – noon. Stop by to meet Miss Macy before she heads off for a long awaited spa day.

Thank you to friends, family and strangers who have been so supportive and enthusiastic about Miss Macy and the stories behind the piece. I put everything I had into this piece.
