1804

Sometimes, something simple works the best. An antique document dated 1804, a vintage postage stamp, rubber stamping, and a few fragments of decorative paper.

 

Among the Daisies

I carved some new linoleum blocks and did a test letterpress print on a vintage document. A piece of vintage music had the lyrics "Among the Daisies" and fit my floral theme perfectly.

 

Pink Rose

Brown with a touch of pink. A handwritten document, some old postage stamps, and a scrap of vintage wallpaper.

Scraps

Some rubber stamps, coffee filter, vintage wallpaper, and parts of an old money bag.

 

Birdie

 Birds and ledger paper, two of my favorite things.

Not always a winner

I was experimenting with the background and this collage came out a little darker than I wanted.  Well, not everything has to be a great success.
