The Shell Collector

I have to admit I made this collage about five years ago but it has always been one of my all time favorites.  The woman is a found photograph.  Shells are from a reference book.  As I recall the background pattern is an image from a copy of The Saturday Book which is a marvelous source of collage inspiration and material.

  1. It's lovely, indeed. Like the shell tiara she has going, and the background is very special. Nice one, CC!

  2. Wonderful! Reminds me of a Spanish dancer with a fan or castanets.

  6. Thanks everyone. I am pleased to be compared to Hannah Hoch who blows my mind. This collage was a return to the craft for me and was a real turning point when I created it.
