Last of January

 I'm running a little late posting my last collage for January but better late than never.

This collages uses random scraps in shades of teal. The background is from a bingo game, there is a piece of vintage wallpaper and some vintage money.

Black Bird and Stars

Here's my first collage in the calendar.  Because the paper is wrinkling on the back from the glue, I'm going to collage only on the right side of the book.

For the bird, I tried an image transfer with Modge Podge. I don't know if I like it since it leaves a shiny residue on the paper. I also used a piece of vintage wallpaper, an old letter and a vintage Hungarian postage stamp. Still needs something....but, you gotta start somewhere.

100 Tags - The Book

I decided I needed a permanent record of my collage challenge so I put together a book. I used Blurb for the printing - I like Blurb because I'm not forced into using a template - I can design in InDesign. Also, their print quality is really nice. I chose the hard cover but a softbound version is also available. I do want to color correct the cover - it came out a little too blue.
