SERIOUSLY PINK

I can’t get enough of the old photos, especially groups like this one. Smile, ladies!

Sometimes I will alter the colors digitally in collages, but here I used different colored tissue paper over the text pieces and placed the image of the group on top.

SUMMER ON THE BAY

This collage is for an upcoming auction to be held on a bay cruise sponsored by Seatuck, a local nature/environmental center.  A lot of different elements from my overflowing collection of postcards, maps, letters and books are used in this piece. I don’t think I’ll ever run out of collage material. Summer is here – enjoy!

GO FISH

Many of the books that I collect are children’s books and school activity books from the fifties and sixties.   I love the illustrations and print of those old days.  Here are some of those pages pieced together for a new collage.

FLOWER BASKET COLLAGE ART

FlwrBsktPrintFinally back at work on some new collages.  This is a digital piece, all done on the computer, using much of the old books pages, letters and images I’ve been collecting and scanning.  The flower basket is a black and white image that I hand colored.  Hope you like it!   Oh, and I’m having some blank notecards made with this design, as well as an 8″ x 10″ print ready for framing – they’ll be available for sale soon.
