Sun-dappled

Vivid June brings the brightest colors and the most beautiful full blooms!

Collage compositions on index cards

The garden-themed collage series is growing almost as fast as the actual garden! Working in a smaller format primarily with magazine images really is so fun and rewarding. I typically sit down and do a series of 3 or 4 little collages in one sitting. So different from my mixed media pieces, which contain many layers of not just papers, but paint and photos and ink and thicker glues. With magazine paper on cardstock, I can simply use a gluestick and a small pair of scissors.

Shout out to my collage friend Kathy Acerno for sending me the gold paper with white writing on it! It was the perfect touch.
