Mixed Media Quickie Number Thirty-One

Special Offering
found envelopes, book cutouts, vinyl, paper
8 x 10 inches

As with my last collage, I have been waiting a very long time to finally use this vinyl line drawing of my great aunt in something.  It was originally just a test for the cutter but I don't throw anything away, and this is why.  Tells a bit of a story, different for everyone.

Mixed Media Quickie Number Twenty-Six

Cleaned Out My Pocket
papers, used tea bag, comic book, wallpaper, staples
approx. 8 x 10 inches

I love working tea bags into pieces.  And staples!  I bit of a different feel than glue (although there's plenty of glue in this, too!).  The background paper is from a composition book that had my grandpa's name on the front, but it was unused.  (c. 1920)
