Such a long time between posts! When I started this blog it was going to be a showcase for my dolls. But ... well, I've just gotten into paper arts and it's consuming me! Thanks to a class from Ann Bell, I'm making art collage note cards and trying to figure out where I'm going to store my rapidly growing paper stash!

This is one of the cards I made in Ann's workshop. Now photography isn't one of my strong suits, obviously. I spent a lot of time behind the camera making sure the image was truly vertical and centered in the viewfinder. This is the resulting photo ... sigh ...

This next card is also from Ann's class. The card stock is the same color as the card in the first photo. More photography shortcomings! The metallic paper in this card is Joss paper, found in Asian markets ... and now on my 'must have' shopping list!

Some corrugated paper, more Joss paper, just the edges, and a snippet of some wallpaper. Again, the cardstock color is the same as the cardstock in the first photo ... just assume that is true for all these images ...



Card number five from the class. Some more corrugated paper, part of a tag, a small figure image from some wrapping paper, a snippet of a page of sheet music ... I love this stuff, and it sure fits in with the 'shreds and tatters' theme I started here. I'll post again ... I promise ... and show you pictures of the cards I'm creating on my own now where I will incorporate images of my dolls and some 'generic' traditional doll images found here and there. More soon ...
