I will be taking these collages (and the mini collages framed!) to my first showing at the Vintage and Made Fair in Des Moines in May.  Since the theme of the show is reusing/recycling materials I figured this would be a great place to debut this line of work.  Spread the word if that's your thing.  Thanks.

It's very hard for me to STOP.  (I think Tim Gunn calls it "editing.")  It feels like being lazy, or cheating, sometimes.  But it's not, and I need to get over myself.  Going crazy and 'all in' is good, and so is simplicity. 

The background here is from a photocopied image I made over a decade ago in school were the cover was not completely down and made this nice little pattern.  I was zoomed in on one of my wisdom teeth, which will work its way into something someday, I'm sure.
