Hi Tammy, yes, I was unsure whether it was ok to display photos of artwork, copyright and all. I'm going to edit and add a link that has some beautiful photos... Thanks for your comment!

The viewable pages are wonderful. What a treasure! Bid is $500 right now - out of my reach. Someone is going to be the lucky owner of this labor of love and many animals will benefit!

Your beeswax collage was great! I have one of Anna Corba's books and am just happy to look at her images-- so nice. I'll bet you had a wonderful time in her class- keep on creating, I'm signing up for your blog. Shar

Yes, crows and squirrels are abundant just like people but each a unique living being! Interesting coloring in that first photo. Can you do it again? I'm giving you the Over the Top award. See my blog for details. www.BonsaiHabits.blogspot.com

I love this journal page Gina. great image and techniques. It's good to know that you are keeping a collage journal.. I am too! remember all of our discussions about journaling- private or public??

I continue to teach Visual Journaling in my art classes and workshops, particularly the practice of daily-ness with Collage -A Day journaling/sketchbook.

I made a lot of collages while traveling cross country,

Great idea Gina, karen

Thanks Tammy, and thanks Beckie! I love it because I'm usually too slow and methodic when doing my artwork. This gets me going... no pressure. By the way, I love the book--What the Dickens by Gregory Macguire. I'm already half way thru!

Ouch. You can also try hanging some ribbons or fabric strips in the window to break up the pattern so they see it a little better. I just found your blog - lovely.
