FREE for ALL


This is the page I decided to create a collage on (I referenced this quote when I chose Free for All as a theme). A couple of the images are from an auction catalogue of collectible "Outsider" or self-taught  artists. It was fun to make. I hope you like it.

Critical Assemblage

Here's the other of which I spoke. Not sure if its any better but it took me longer to find all those words!

Beatle Stamps

These didn't take long so I made another which took me a bit longer - coming up next! Am I excited by the upcoming rejuvinated "Anthology" project - extra content and a Dizzy Plus series? I suppose I am. I was hooked on the Get Back films and always a treat to hear new songs or out takes etc. I guess I'm a Beatle fan forever. Sorry the stamps are bit weak though!

Free for all….

 Thank you for the great themes the last two months …I hate the free for all as I have to think for myself….

So I just did what we makes me laugh and give all these folks the wrong heads…

THEME: FREE for ALL (read below)

WoW... it has been 2 months since I signed on to be the theme picker and time sure flies when you are having good creative fun! 

I am ready to pass the torch to ? 

I was actually inspired by this quote I found in a child's book of art:

"In art we can make pictures of things we love and know and imagine." 

And it made me smile and I thought "FREE FOR ALL"!

BIG & little


 Yes, that is the Grand Canyon. What's going on?
I dunno. I found the cute little man. Then I cut out the huge purple chair.
I needed a background so I thought I would go LARGER than the chair.

Double Dreamscapes

Two recent collages that may or may not be related to recent dreams of houses and buildings. I often find myself in old places I have lived in the past but they are slightly different or very different depending on what cheese I ate the night before!

Dream scenes 1 -4

My dreams never make any sense and jump around, one minute you are wearing boxing gloves ..then you are paddling through pies..the bird with a gigantic orange fork flies by and then a moth attacks a tacky clock in a wood…what does it all mean?

Last night I dreamt I got a tattoo on my wrist and I was horrified with myself..

THEME: Dream a little dream of me

Collages depicting a dreamscape. Does it make no sense. No problem. Neither do a lot of my dreams. Have fun!!

Collector Henri Matisse...

I was browsing through an art book and found this photo of Henri Matisse tending to his collection of exotic birds which he purchased from Paris merchants who were selling caged birds along the Seine. Reportedly starting in the summer of 1936, his love for birds remained throughout his life and surely the doves and songbirds he so enjoyed influenced his later cut-out creations.

Collections…surfaces.


 Surfaces…we both do collect too much..but I make sure all surfaces such as tables and chairs need to be clear…but other surfaces..even the ledges over doors are fair game.The floor should also be clear (mostly).

Of course walls must be totally covered!

Before the clutter ..

HEARTS & FLOWERS = True Love (or at least a good kiss!)


 I have some good books to cut up that deal with L O V E. The doves were originally carrying love letters and the window appeared partially open and had panes and a lace curtain (which I obviously got rid of). I found the kissing couple in another book and added the heart to her necklace as well as the floating vibes those two are giving off. I felt like I had to explain because I think the finished product totally looks like a found image and not something I put together. ha ha
