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
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...
