Mixed Media Quickie Number Twenty-Seven

Secrets in Innes
found envelope, painted paper, painted found newspaper, magazine/book/
greeting card cutouts, vinyl
approx. 14 x 11 inches

This envelope is so worn it almost feels like cotton.  FYI, I think this newspaper clipping is from a paper in Hastings, Nebraska.  It's also from the '60s--big thanks to a neighbor for holding on to these until I was ready to walk by and take them (not that they knew that).

Mixed Media Quickie Number Five

Blue Undies
craft paper, wall paper, magazine cutout, catalog cutouts, sticker, vinyl
approx. 6 x 10 inches

This is the most deconstructed collage piece I've ever done I think...might be the best one for a starter.  Another collaboration with an unknown framer, this time from Langley's Framing Corner in Westport (closed).

Yo!  Instagram!

Mixed Media Quickie Number Two

Sleep Walking
craft paper, book cutout, magazine cutouts, painted paper scrap,
catalog cutout, wall paper, vinyl
approx. 11 x 14 inches

You can see that the craft paper here was on the back of a framed piece because the framer smartly labeled it with their sticker and info.  I like to think this one is a collaboration with the person who placed that sticker there from the Colony Bistro Art Gallery and Frame Shop sometime in the '60s or '70s.
