Antique – Vintage – Retro – Handmade Shop
Thank you Adrienne! I got your envelope today. I love all the vintage papers you sent and the red envelope with the large year of the horse stamp is just gorgeous. An open cheque too:) Thank you again!
Vintage ledger papers, blank cheque, card envelope, and invoice
This collage links to my interest in the world of vintage advertising, Pop Art and Andy Warhol
Once again I worked in layers
Starting with a base layer of distress inks, paint swatch stickers and hand painted papers, I then added vinyl tape and letters
Finally, more paint swatches with vintage stamps, stencils and ink
A series of collages ” Clear Cloudy Rain Snow.” created as bonus collages for 30 Days of Collage
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.
