COLLAGE ITEMS

The holidays are fast approaching. The air is crisp with a smell of fall. Here in Vermont the leaves are changing to their splendor. Alot of reds, bright red! I had fun yesterday making a few collage hangings. This one is called "THE THANKFUL SEASON" an image from an old Vermont callendar was the inspiration for this one. I also love using clippings from my collection of antique newspapers. Makes anything I make with it, feel like Ole Vermont. This collage is called "THANKSGIVING" check out the Native looking over things. I have had this image in my collection of ephemera for sometime now. I have used it several times, popular on a greeting card. This collage also has an antique advertisment. The image of the house and barn with the family members arriving for the family Thanksgiving meal was my inspiration for this piece.

Finally, this is a halloween collage called "LOVELY, LOVELY MOSS" (notice the moss dripping from the tree). Halloween is my daughter's favorite holiday, a close second to Christmas. I love to do Halloween collaging, it is sooo much fun.
