Collage Obsession: Science

Take a Word: Family Album

I am not related to the couple in this photo, but thought it would be interesting to transport them to another time and place. Image credit for photo of couple: last door down the hall. Photo of NYC is my own. Please click on photo for larger view.


"Wish You Were Here"  

Sunday Postcard Art: Doodles

Doodling! One of my favorite pastimes. My collage incorporates two of my own doodles, combined and altered digitally to produce an interesting effect.
