My cousin had written me a letter (I know a rarity these days with the internet). I love her hand writing and I couldn't bare discarding it, so it became part of the collage. The lace is a piece that I got from Lisa.
Here are some others that I finished up for the day.
I enjoyed playing with different colored backgrounds.
I was looking for my roller sponge brush but couldn't find it so dabbed Modge Podge on it with a regular sponge brush. It had a coarser texture than I would like.
I think the next ones that I do, I will try coating in wax. I also used distressing ink on the edges. I need to work on figuring out how NOT to have wrinkles in the paper. Perhaps a different glue?
as you can see these can get quite addicting!

Glorious! So, you lived in a Little Pink House, huh? Mine was brick, but we did have a turquoise kitchen for a while. I'm curious about what you used for a base on this collage. xxoo Patty
Patty, I used plain old white matt board:) I like it the best so that it is nice and stiff.
Beautiful collages, so colourful and textural and I love your use of the handwriting in your art. There's a house on a walk I have traipsed since I was a child which passes a building we call the Pink House. For the last 20 years the outside has been painted magnolia but habits die hard & I still refer to it as the Pink House. Px
I'm so glad you stopped by my blog; I always visit the blogs of people in return and yours is so lovely! Your art is wonderful. I would love to know what you used for the background colors of your 4 x 4s. I use acrylic paint, but it doesn't always go on as nicely as I would like. Your backgrounds are rich AND smooth.
BTW...my in-laws house is still pink! Has been since the 50's...
Wow you have certainly learned to embrace turquoise - not my fave colour either but I recently painted my shop with it (inside) and it looks kinda cool, love these 4x4's, I can see why they would be addictive, I haven't done that size - yet lol, you have a lovely way of using colour XXX
Thanks, Wanda! I started out with stretched canvas, but I just don't feel I have much control with it. Matt board sounds like the solution! xxoo Patty
You did some very interesting collages. I like your banner.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
