Back to Doing What I Like Best!!!

This is what I love to do....Vintage Collage. I had this wonderful gal in my metal class in St. Louis, Jane, who came up with this terrific idea of using the long Fragment piece like a window with people in it. So here I used a frame as a mold with the Chocolate Brown metal from Ten Seconds Studio, and the children are from Collections. The word and strip at the bottom are also from Collections.

I just drool over the papers from Graphic 45. EVERYTHING she has is to die for.This is Garden Suite from the Botanicabella Collection. The base is a Maya Road chipboard tag. Then I added a word tag and arrow from Tim's stuff, a couple of buttons, some rick-rack and ribbons, and of course white pen marks. TA DA!

Go create something you love!

Boy this has been a long time in happening, but what can you say. This is a collage box that I did with Collections vintage photos, a metal canvas corner and lots of beads and wire. I really love doing this type of project. The wooden trim is from the dollhouse section in the hobby store and painted with various acrylic paints. The eyelets have wires joining the pictures together and mounted on wooden blocks to bring the images forward.

I can post it now that the May/June issue of Altered Arts has arrived at my doorstep. Thanks to everyone there for using my little work of Altered Art!

And if you have time, I'm on the Vintaj blog page featuring my journals. They did a nice job there....appreciate that, girls! http://www.vintaj.com/wpblog/

Last Chance

Here it is Friday already. Tomorrow is the drawing on the Row House!

Many have stated their choice, and many are correct...many are wrong, but consistent!

Here are the 2 newest houses for the drawing and door prizes. Something a little bit different. Love the gal with the shades....

I used "Collections" houses, vintage photo and stamps. Tim Holtz doo dads and Distress Inks. The little face is from Artgirlz stamps. Cool girl! I had shades like that in the '70's and freckles, too. Keep guessing.
