It’s time for the postcard swap again! I haven’t done it for a couple years and missed it. This is always fun. Kat Sloma, over at Kat Eye View, is hosting the swap just like she does every year. The idea is this: we print up postcards with our art on them, write a little note […]

“Red Sky at Morning” is a small (6×4 inch) collage made with printed images, handmade papers, purchased letters, and a page from a map. I glued the map piece onto the backing board first, then adding the other pieces on top. I love using maps in my collages, partly for all the connotations of a […]
