In 2011, I found myself going so long without creating anything because everything I created seemed like a huge project with a goal in mind, not just creating for creating’s sake. The retro collages that I sell on Etsy were quite fun for me because it was a way for me to just play with all of the images that I had been collecting. I wanted to keep my creativity moving in small waves and these collages are my way of doing just that. I found a children’s dictionary and thought I would pick one word everyday and make a small collage around it.
These are originals, I will not be doing any other prints. Once it’s sold, it’s gone!
Each collage will be a signed 4.75″ x 4.75″ print on a textured cotton paper and will be matted with an archival mat to 8″ x 8″.
