Scissor Happy

I’ve been busy, busy as a little bee working on a new series of Poetry for Ransom collages. I’ve collected up a whole lot of vintage paper ephemera (going back as far as the turn of the second-to-last century), including old postcards, letters, envelopes, pages torn from ledgers and secretary’s shorthand notebooks, and combined them with found imagery, pen and ink washes. I love their foxy edges, yellow with age. I even found some of my own bits of paper secreted away since childhood in my parent’s garage. Finding those gave me a kick!

Look out for a new gallery in the coming weeks. In the meantime, here’s a little taster.
