The sea has always been a mysterious and magical subject for me. When I was a child, my family took vacations to the California coast. We rented a hotel room and walked down to the beach to walk in the sand and play in the waves. I can recall the feeling of the sand between my toes and the smell of the salt in the air. In fact, right now if I close my eyes, I can imagine myself standing on the beach. It's still a wondrous memory for me.
Today the collages I am displaying are made on two canvas boards and have a mini canvas mounted on top with lots of paint and tissue and printed paper overlay. For personality I have added my little clay birds, tiny seashells, and vintage music to create a story picture that is very sweet. For easy hanging, I also glued a ribbon cord to each one. Over all size is 5 x 7 inches.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Liz, Jenelle, and Mary for visiting my blog so often. These little art "postcards" were fun to create. Another place for my birds to fly.
