I haven't been much in the mood or had the energy to create, so finally I forced myself and thought, I at least need to work on a small scale and just paste stuff like mad and try different things and practice, practice, practice. I think this will increase my confidence in arting overall. Anyhow, here are some collages I'm doing on rolodex cards.
This one has a flower I made out of a sewing pattern, colored in with stamp ink and glittered.
I sprayed a mix of stamp ink and water onto this one and glued a game piece.
This mini clipboard I altered with a collage of music pages, old photos, tissue paper, a touch of white gesso and embellished with lace and paper flowers at top. This is available for purchase, $15. If you're interested, let me know. Will soon post on Etsy.
This is the back
Hope you enjoy the bit of art.

I love your rolodex cards. They are awesome. What a great idea. I also loved that sweet flower you mad from a pattern. Great ideas. I will visit again.

Oh my goodness what a great idea! These are amazing! I love that you mentioned just starting small...I often find myself at the same place, unsure of what to do. I think starting off with a roladex card (what a unique idea!) would be far less intimidating than staring at my whole floor full of goodies.
Thanks for visiting my OWOH giveaway and leading me back here - can't wait to check out more!
