I am Addicted to Collage Art

Sharing just a few details and pieces today.

Circle Journal swap x 2

Back today- yep its been a while -sharing the final 2 pieces completed for the Scrapping Clearly circle journal swap- a handmade paper bag album.
I love creating for others and I try very hard to put a little art and soul into every piece that crosses my desk . Each journal was a different theme and these 2 were perfect to finish on, as they are particularly awesome themes, with so many options to choose from its just to hard to decide on one.
Nirvana won.


 Your Fave Artist
 My choice was Del Kathryn Barton

Big love to those who actually drop by this blog 
on the off chance something new has been uploaded xx

Inspired by Rae Missigman

If you haven't visited her blog....watched her YOU TUBE channel 
go here... then come back and visit me ..
but seriously , when you just need some flow and colour and  fun in your art.
Rae is the perfect inspiration point .
This is how she inspired my work.








I created these pages with this Vicki Boutin Junk Journal .
I love the flexibility of removing and playing with the pages,
 I felt like I got to create in double time  ..

Thanks for dropping by.x
