Hummie & Hands

This collage is not numbered so its not one of the 'starters'. Still using up those brilliant hummingbird images from the National Geo.
Yesterday I started making a book of collage. I had an old withdrawn book from the library & had tipped in pages & used it for a journal for only 5 days in 2011. I painted over all that & started in with collage. No journal writing. I found myself not taking it seriously, just in a hurry to fill up the pages so I could call it done even though I'd only just started. Typical. Had to do some re-working. I will start posting those collages.

Its been a very long time since I last posted. For awhile I thought I would never make any pictures again...and I didn't. Then one day it came back & I am making collages everyday; both in my Visual Journal & on sheets of 8 x 11 paper. This one has a hummingbird from an old National Geographic article which includes many wonderful images of hummies. I'm not done  using them all yet. I LOVE to work from my table top - meaning I use the scraps that happen to be lying right there. That is the richest source of materials for me. Sometimes I go searching through the stash to freshen up the table leavings!
