Geometric ants

I found this great Moebius strip ant graphic in a book called The Science Book. The art is by M.C. Escher. When I am finished grabbing all of the pictures out of the book I need, I usually toss the remaining papers in the recycling bin. I finished cutting it out last night. I love this piece. Got an idea for what to use it with in my next collage.

Sarah Bernhardt Mulls Medicine

Page torn from old medical book. For more information on Sarah Bernhardt, go here.
An interesting anecdote from Wiki reads
It was during this time that she acquired her famous coffin, in which she often slept in lieu of a bed, claiming it helped her understand her many tragic roles

Here is a nice photograph of her taken by Félix Nadar:

Visage of Lepidoptera

Another 3D piece. I use cut and paste to create my collages.

A few new pieces - Molecules and Butterflies

Here are a few new pieces I've cut out for a collage that will be used in a future project.
I've got a couple of good ideas so I'm hoping this weekend will be productive!

Know The Wind

Finished this collage Sunday. The collage was for a friend of mine who works in the Windpower field.

Intricate Collage Pieces

These vintage paper illustrations are actually cut from cheap books I find at thrift stores. Both came from an old music book. The top piece reminds me of lace. It must have taken me more than an hour to cut that piece the way I wanted it. Relaxing work believe it or not!

Dance of Life

My second collage was a complete 180 from the first. I realized that I liked all sorts of types of collage creation from romantic to surrealism to machines and science. As luck would have it I also found a great picture of Marcel DuChamp's infamous men's urinal, called Fountain.

Bodywise

After perusing through several collage blogs and websites, I created my first collage and put it up on Flickr. I did get one comment - the writer said it was very strange. That's what I was going for.

Fireproof

September 2009
(SOLD)
This was the 3rd collage I'd ever created. I'm really into bright colors.
I sold this in early December but was a bit sad to see it go. I do know it has a great home though.
