Detail from Loveday
I found a green wooden plate and decided to use it to collage on. It was the perfect surface and colour. I then used vintage buttons from an old shirt making factory in Spain....

Rabbits.....

I have been busy doing more collages and wreaths which is why I have been away. I checked the date and realised I haven't posted since December 2nd....Time certainly flies! I have been reading the Margaret lane biography of Beatrix Potter which inspired me to make more rabbit collages. I hope you like them.....

New Wreath......

Lavender Wreath
A white wreath with purple wooden beads on a salvaged picture frame. I put this one around an old photograph (just for display). I quite like it as an alternative to a traditional frame. But these wreaths are also lovely to have around the house, on doors, especially with the Holidays fast approaching.....
