Ok... these iconic jazz artists are torn away from their background! Now to put tow coats of a special sealant on front and back. Then sew them into the vintage screen doors! and the reason some of them did not have feet is because they will be standing behind the screen door and you would not see them anyway :-) #JellyRollMorton #BunkJohnson #BlancheThomas #SweetEmmaBarrett #NewOrleansJazz (at Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw2O5RMlY5P/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=162gnxp9qmrjc
