I'm on fire!!!

I'm so excited about collage now thanks to my images from Artchix Studio. I also found some fabulous vintage magazines and books on Saturday at an antique mall in Bellingham, WA. This hot flashes ACEO has an image from an old Good Housekeeping magazine from 1952. It's strange looking at these old magazines. I probably looked at them when I was a little girl! My mother might still have some of them piled under her bed! A strange thing: there was a letter in this magazine asking about the dangers of lead paint in children's toys and furniture. 1952!! We knew then! Why have we accepted lead paint from China? This is one of my pet peeves. I was disgusted to learn that nearly all the garlic for sale here is from China. I have been going out of my way to buy organic garlic from California. It's not only the human rights issues, the bird flu, the dirt, but the cost to the environement of shipping it all that way, spewing greenhouse gases all over the world! Grrrrr.

Well, back to something more exciting: ART. Here are some new collages that I did this week.
