Once again I worked in layers

Finally, more paint swatches with vintage stamps, stencils and ink

I had so much fun making these collages!
This challenge has been more liberating in more ways than one. Only using glue, scissors and magazine cut outs, I created a series of collages in ’60s style and finally got the chance to use some of my vintage magazines for art.
Many years I have collected wallpapers from all over the world. My favourite Australian designer would have to be Florence Broadhurst

Her designs are bold, abstract, wild, organic, colourful, patterned, textured,sophisticated and just beautiful.
Florence Broadhurst was exotic, eccentric, flamboyant, enigmatic, opportunistic, pioneering: all this and more.
