If like me, you love a bit of collage – enjoying the random way that photos, textures, paint and papers come together to create a new works of art, then get your creative goggles on and take a butchers at this site dedicated to collage – curated by Aprile Elcich, a graphic designer and collage artist living in Toronto, Canada.

Not-Paper - a site for collage

I love this image below, created by Essex, UK, based artist Becky Howes. I also like the images on her tumblr blog too which make clever use of stitching and the inside of patterned envelopes (two of my favourite things )

Another lovely artist’s site to check out is that of Randel Plowman (above image), an artist based in Wisconsin who is pursuing a challenge of creating a collage a day, which he then posts to his site for sale. This image is already sold but it’s rather lovely and is entitled ”Score Card”
He’s recently published a book called “The Collage Workbook”, to help inspire and get you started on your journey into the magical world of collage. Check out his site or Lark Crafts who publish the book for more information.

It’s In The Post

Wow… It’s exciting to think that 18 people from UK, USA and Italy (mainly Stoke on Trent, London, Staffordshire, Cumbria, San Francisco and Venice ) have been sending each other some hand-made and unique artwork through the post over the last few days … today was the estimated last day for people to get their lovely stuff in the post.
Over the next few weeks we should see what people have swapped appearing on their own sites, blogs, social networking pages and profiles. I’ll do my research and pop some news on here soon… So watch this space!

Also look out for an interview with Hannah at Yellowstone Art Boutique during March.
