I love computers. I use them everyday, but I must admit that I haven't a clue how they really work. Somehow signals get sent from one to another through the air and through cables and now we are all linked. It's really amazing!

a collage addict has been here Collage artistry is a serious addiction for which there is no known cure. You will know the collage artist when you meet him or her because of the strange behavior. When walking on the street, they may suddenly stop to pick up bits of paper garbage which they may later wash and iron. Some of them are particularly interested in rusty things they find on the ground. They are no longer interested in the contents of their mail but focus on the envelopes and stamps. They hoard magazines and all sorts of printed materials which they store in strange filing systems. These files often have bizarre labels such as "greeny-blue", "rough", "shiny" or simply "things". When they start collaging they loose all sense of time and space and their habitats become littered with debris. If you know someone who has been affected by collage, it's best not to confront them with their problem since it is incurable. Simply smile and nod and give them bits of garbage, like candy wrappers or electrical tape and they will be happy and scurry off to continue their collaging. Here are some new pieces made on Saint Armand's handmade paper. I love working with this paper. It has beautiful deckled edges and no grain direction. It's lovely to paint on. Saint Armand paper is also eco-friendly. They use no bleaches or chemicals. The white paper here is made from cotton cut-offs from clothing manufacturers! They make the blue from blue denium cut offs! Thanks to my friend Lisa for pointing it out in the store, or I might not have noticed it. Speaking of Lisa, she just opened her Etsy store! Check it out!!! Click these to enlarge.
They'll be in my Etsy store as soon as the sun returns and I can photograph them. |
