Day 30 in my #100dayproject of using some of the hoard and actually gluing things down. This one started with the seashell etching that looked like a figure. I added a pair of glasses from a 1963 Look magazine and a skate from a discarded fish identification book. After auditioning a bunch of backgrounds I decided on this image from a 1970s flower book.. Possible titles include "go fly a kite" and "tiptoe through the petunias". Most important... it's glued down!😍 . #collage_guild #collage #collagemashup #collageeveryday #collageaday #collageartist #collageartwork #collagefodder #collageoftheday #collage_creatives #collageart #analogcollage #cutandpaste #cutandpastecollage #booksbooksbooks #dailycollage #dailydoseofpaper #dothe100dayproject #artexploration #papercollage #gluepaperscissors #scissorsandglue #oldbooks #oldpaper #ephemera #vintageephemera #bitsandpieces #skate #flowers


I took a sketchbook class with @lewisrossignol on @carlasonheim 's site and just finished my second sketch. I love this one! ... especially the goldfish crackers...😜😍 Lewis' style is so loose and wonky. It's harder than it looks! . #sketchbook #fish #poscaart #posca #poscamarkers #markmaking #creativity #creatingforhappiness #artexploration #arteveryday #boating #boat #boatlife #ocean #sketch_daily #sketching #drawingsketch #drawdrawdraw #drawing #artsupplies #underthesea #fishing #fishinglife #acrylicpainting #acrylicpaintmarkers #illustration #artplay #colorful #colorfulart #amindisaterriblethingtowaste

Library catalogue card number 1486. I'm probably going to hell for cutting into my 1906 Bible stories set. But but but...the paper feels so nice and the images are so crisp.😜 . I had my 8 week post surgery appointment today and got the go ahead to try wearing regular shoes. My toe is still pretty stiff, but I managed to get it in a sneaker and walk around the house a little. I might even move back upstairs to go to bed tonight!!😍 . #analogcollage #onecollageaday #analoguecollage #foundwords #vintagepaper #cutandpaste #cutandpastecollective #cutandpastecollage #dailycollage #handcutcollage #gluepaperscissors #scissorsandglue #the100dayproject #oldbooks #oldpaper #vintageephemera #collage #collageeveryday #collageartist #collageartwork #collagefodder #collageoftheday #collage_creatives #collageart #collageaday #dailydoseofpaper #booksbooksbooks #collageimage #parable #antiquebooks


Day 29 in my #100dayproject of using some of the hoard and actually gluing things down. Vintage paperback book covers are a challenge to photograph. The colors always look better in person.

Library catalogue card number 1485. I got my daily card done right before my little friend came over and caught me at the art table.😍 Of course he needed to make his own card. He just turned two. I wouldn't trade this time for anything. . #analogcollage #onecollageaday #analoguecollage #foundwords #vintagepaper #cutandpaste #cutandpastecollective #cutandpastecollage #dailycollage #handcutcollage #gluepaperscissors #scissorsandglue #the100dayproject #oldbooks #oldpaper #vintageephemera #collage #collageeveryday #collageartist #collageartwork #collagefodder #collageoftheday #collage_creatives #collageart #collageaday #dailydoseofpaper #booksbooksbooks #collageimage #convict #flowers


Day 28 in my #100dayproject of using some of the hoard and actually gluing things down. I'm having a super fun art morning and got today's collage glued down early. Of course, I'm just avoiding computer work, but you know how it is....😜 . #collage_guild #collage #collagemashup #collageeveryday #collageaday #collageartist #collageartwork #collagefodder #collageoftheday #collage_creatives #collageart #analogcollage #cutandpaste #cutandpastecollage #booksbooksbooks #dailycollage #dailydoseofpaper #dothe100dayproject #artexploration #papercollage #gluepaperscissors #scissorsandglue #oldbooks #oldpaper #ephemera #vintageephemera #bitsandpieces #gelliprint #usingscraps


It's going to be sixty degrees today! Maybe it's a good day to unwrap this bundle that has been sitting outside for 3 months... It was an old book that I had removed the covers. My little friend and I stuffed it with his drawings, leaves and dirt. I wrapped the book around a baked beans can, sprayed it with some walnut ink and a green craft spray, tied it up with veggie Velcro and left it out in the elements. We didn't get much snow this year, but it has rained, frozen, and thawed many times. . #decay #decollage #ecodying #ecodye #botanicalart #botanicalprint #weatheredandwonderful #weathered #worn #booksbooksbooks #oldbooks #oldpaper #collageartist #collagefodder #artexploration #arteveryday #artexperiment #bundle #artsupplies #paintedpaper #inspiredbynature #leaves #fallleaves #collagebits #grungy #deteriorating #destruction #distress #collagepaper #collageproject

Someone had a sense of humor when they set up this shot...😜 "Let's make the frogs admire the frog legs..." . 1978 The Grand Masters of French Cuisine. This puppy is full of yucky food just dying to be collaged. Again, the book barn at the dump provides unparalleled collage fodder! . #uglyfoodcollage #vintageephemera #vintageimages #vintagecookbook #oldbooks #oldpaper #analogcollage #whatsfordinner #frog #frogs #meta #collage #collagefodder #foodporn #foodie #frenchcuisine #collageartist #collageimage #booksbooksbooks

Woohoo! I woke up this morning to news that "Gormandizer" was accepted (and received an honorable mention award) into the James Library's Fourth Annual Spring Juried Art Exhibition! Thank you to Ruthie Holland Tredwell, juror, for the honor! @thejameslibrary . Show dates: Fri, Mar 24, - Sat, Apr 29, 2023 James Library & Center for the Arts, 24 West Street, Norwell, MA . This painting has many layers of collage and paint that have been sanded back to see the history. It is the largest piece I have created at 30x48. I love working this big! . #mixedmediaart #mixedmediaartist #mixedmedia #mixedmediapainting #collage #layers #markmaking #juriedexhibition #awardwinning #foundwords #artshow #papercollage #paperandpaint #collageartist #collageartwork #acrylicpainting #booksbooksbooks #vintageephemera #ephemera #oldbooks #oldpaper #excavation #cvp #arteveryday #hidden #abstractart #abstractpainting #abstractartist #showyourwork #creatingforhappiness

Mandy's big adventure! I got to go to the dump today!😜 After 5 weeks of my people telling me that there was nothing good in the book barn, I finally made it there myself...Yes, that's 2 copies of "A World of Movies". The little paperbacks will get gutted as I just use the covers. I could've gotten more, but I was limited (by me) to just one grocery bag. Needless to say, that one short outing was enough to wear me out. I'm icing and elevating my foot now. Next I need to do today's collages .. I hope you're having grand adventures too!😍 . #analogcollage #booklover #booksbooksbooks #oldbooks #oldpaper #ephemera #vintageephemera #cutandpaste #cutandpastecollage #artadventures #ilovebooks #collage_guild #collage #collageeveryday #collageartist #collageartwork #collagefodder #collageimage #collage_creatives #collagemaker #movies #gluepaperscissors #scissorsandglue #onepersonstrash #reducereuserecycle #fleamarketfinds #dailydoseofpaper #artsupplies #toolsofthetrade #vintageimages

Library catalogue card number 1468.

Day 11 in my #100dayproject of using some of the hoard and actually gluing things down. My experimenting today started with using cheap craft paint to glue down layers of leftover pieces of book pages. Then I peeled up the pieces that weren't stuck down by much. Next I pulled out the sandpaper and distressed it some more. I will definitely do more of this!!!😍 . Old hardback book cover, leftover text books from a vintage space exploration book, cheap craft paint, cutoffs from a fish book, sand paper..... . #collage_guild #collage #collagemashup #collageeveryday #collageaday #collageartist #collageartwork #collagefodder #collageoftheday #collage_creatives #collageart #analogcollage #cutandpaste #cutandpastecollage #booksbooksbooks #dailycollage #dailydoseofpaper #doingthework #dothe100dayproject #artexploration #papercollage #gluepaperscissors #scissorsandglue #oldbooks #oldpaper #ephemera #vintageephemera #decollage #abstractart

Library catalogue card number 1467. Bear with me here... I'm giggling and I'm probably the only one who thinks this is funny...😜 You have to read the words as if you were reading "Bitch please". In my research today I found that the phrase is a Snoop song, a perfume, and a tv show... who knew? I don't actually love the phrase (and I've probably never actually said it in conversation) but from now on I am only going to say "Fish Peas"...with a snap! . #analogcollage #tvdinner #onecollageaday #analoguecollage #foundwords #offbeatcollage #vintagepaper #cutandpaste #cutandpastecollective #cutandpastecollage #dailycollage #the100dayproject #dailydoseofpaper #handcutcollage #gluepaperscissors #scissorsandglue #vintagemagazine #oldbooks #oldpaper #vintageephemera #collage #collageeveryday #collageartist #collageartwork #collagefodder #collageoftheday #collage_creatives #collageaday #fish #collagemaker


Day 10 in my #100dayproject of using some of the hoard and actually gluing things down. I got an earlier start collaging this morning...true confessions.. I'm just avoiding doing a bunch of @duxburyart computer work.😜 At any rate, this collage required a LOT of fussy cutting and a new blade in the xacto. My finger is currently bleeding like a stuck pig because I promptly poked myself with the brand new blade... aarrrgghh. Have a great day, Peeps! . Old hardback book cover, book of lilies, discarded old music book. . #collage_guild #collage #collagemashup #collageeveryday #collageaday #collageartist #collageartwork #collagefodder #collageoftheday #collage_creatives #collageart #analogcollage #cutandpaste #cutandpastecollage #booksbooksbooks #dailycollage #dailydoseofpaper #doingthework #dothe100dayproject #artexploration #papercollage #gluepaperscissors #scissorsandglue #oldbooks #oldpaper #ephemera #vintageephemera #lilies #music

Day 9 in my #100dayproject of using some of the hoard and actually gluing things down. I'm glad I at least laid out my collages this morning because the day got away from me. I went out on my first field trip to the museum to see the blooms exhibit...then came home and took a nap. Then we had a little friend visit for a couple of hours. I cannot collage in peace with the two year old on my lap!😜 .

Opening night is tonight at @shiftgallery.seattle ! I was thrilled to be asked to contribute a piece to @nanotomic 's show titled "Reconciling Masculinity: Let the Better Man Win". There is an entire collage weekend planned. I'm bummed I can't be there in person. . "Mocking the Past" is my contribution to the show. The mockingbird is tipping traditional gender roles upside down. The man who has seen the future has a blank check (Carta Blanca) for a different future. The background is want ads from an old popular mechanics. . #masculinity #boys #mockingbird #strongman #cutandpaste #cutandpastecollage #cutandpastecollective #analogcollage #oldbooks #oldpaper #gluepaperscissors #scissorsandglue #collage #collageeveryday #collageartist #collageartwork #collagefodder #collageimage #collage_creatives #men #vintagemagazine #vintageephemera #ephemera #artexploration #artexhibition #birdcollage #birds #beercan #gallerywall #collagemashup
