Collage A Day
A Collage A Day
In order to jump start my creative batteries I am creating a mixed media collage piece to post every day. It's all about "upcycled" paper that would otherwise end up in a landfill. And I'm also hoping to generate a smile or two. I’m fascinated by language and am often inspired by oxymorons, onomatopoeia and odd turns of phrase as you can see by my titles. I enjoy giving new life and meaning to rejected and neglected items. Disparate images are juggled and juxtaposed from within my vast palette of old papers and ephemera.

"It's Just a Possibility"
The three ravens are copies of lino cuts I made after taking a class taught by Sherrie York, my good friend and an amazing print maker with a very fun and informative blog. |

"Controlled Chaos"
I've been making handmade paper and I recently shredded and chopped some pages from a book of old art deco designs and I used them to make some very cool "confetti" paper. The pieces that came out of the shredder were so interesting on their own that I kept some to use in the collages that I am presently working on which also include some other bits from the original book (and other stuff).
