Carmen McCullough is a mixed-media collage artist who creates with paint, paper, photos, and fabric. Her motivation to create this book came from the ironic, yet humorous happenings of her friends who were turning 50-ish.

The fashionable outfits in this book were inspired by the vibrant Gracious Garden and Delia fabric collections by Megan Hagel. You can learn more about this talented designer at www.MeganHagel.com.

Carmen would love to hear what you did when you turned 50-Ish. Check out her website at www.StrangeFarmGirl.com or drop her an e-mail at Carmen@StrangeFarmGirl.com.
