new collage

something i learned from my friend and artist extraordinaire, don't throw paper away. ever. no matter how small. cathy made the most amazing collage from scraps of paper she pulled from my studio trash can. lesson learned! so here is one of my new collages, "a face in the crowd," made from snips of paper left over from a collage making frenzy. i am now selling my art on artfire, and this collage is listed there http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=1797145

new collage book

Masters: Collage: Major Works by Leading Artists can now be preordered from Amazon at a significant discount. randel plowman (acollageaday.blogspot.com) is the editor and i am one of 40 collage artists included in the book, published by lark. it is such an incredible honor to be included in this book -- i have seen some of the other artists' work and it is impressive. the link to amazon is http://www.amazon.com/Masters-Collage-Major-Leading-Artists/dp/1600591086. i have heard it is also available for preordering at barnes and noble, also.

this is the collage that is the companion to the collage below. i'm hoping that the same person will get them both. it's also listed as a pay it forward item in my shop -- www.paperwerks.etsy.com.

i just listed this and it's companion collage on etsy as pay it forward items, along with some other pif and sale collages. (pay it forward items sell for the twenty cent listing fee, then you do a good deed for someone else.)
