To celebrate my 500th collage, leave a comment on this post and
you'll be entered into a drawing for a pendant of your choice from my
Etsy shop (look to the right side of the screen). See all of the pendants here.
Well this pretty much ended up a mess. I'm OK with that. The only guideline I gave myself for this collage was that it be all authentic material. No collage sheets, no scrapbook paper, no scanned and printed images. All of these elements are from real old things.
There's the endpaper from an 1900 edition of Tennyson's poems, an old piece of wallpaper, part of a vintage button card, and old magazine picture of an owl, something snipped from an old sheet music cover, a piece of an old pocket notebook in which someone noted the weather and the day's activities, and part of a food stamp from the late 80s.
