I couldn't have been happier than I was the other night when I pulled out a bunch of my Valentine's Day images and ephemera and started creating these collaged cards. To me it's like putting a puzzle together, trying to see how it fits the best, what should go where.
And even if it was 3:00 in the morning because I could not sleep, I still enjoyed making them.
Interesting observation: I made my son a collaged picture frame for Christmas. He really liked it. I overheard him showing it to one of his guy friends and got a chuckle out of the friends' assessment of collage. "Oh, nice. Look how they put all that stuff on top of each other."
Which is the essence of collage I guess.
