Les Jardin Des Amants and more Italian collage






dearhearts...
it all started innocently enough
with these
four collages...

The Jardin Collages...

as I was ripping up an old book on botany..
I had the idea of a garden of lovers...
meeting among the gardens filled with flowers...

and as I leafed through my French papers
I found an article on gardening in
an old newspaper...




Les Fleurs, 8 x 8 collage,  French Paper Series




Jardin 8 x 8  collage, French Paper Series



Rustica, 8 x 8 collage, French Paper Series



No. 31, collage, French Paper Series

and they were so beautifully photographed in
the Somerset Studio article...







Sept/Oct. 





after I created the
Jardin collages, I thought that the floral images
would be beautiful
layered in

Italian collage mounted on Khadi papers



Floating, 8 x 8 Italian Collage



Vintage Fleur,  8 x 8 Italian Collage



Mosaic Jardin, 8 x 8 Italian collage






and then of course I had to make
 minis






from top to bottom... Un Jardin, Petite Fleur, Rouge, Purple Butterfly 6 x 6 







so you can see why I had to split this post up to show
you all the pieces...

and if you missed the first part of my show
just scroll down to the last post...

alas... I won't be able to make this show

Oct. 25 and 26
in Fort Collins
at
the Nostalgia Antiques Sale
and
immediately following the show..

but I am hoping to do another show next year and attend..


as always, I so appreciate your kind readership...
and faithful support...

I will be back shortly with
October pages..
and some peeks of
my latest Sew project...
