 In many of the ephemeral images that I find I have to change them up in PhotoShop because writing is across the image.  This can be very challenging and time consuming.  In this case, writing was across this man’s hair.  You would never know it now.

 This woman is actually a paper puppet that I found. I cut her out and assembled her before gluing her down.  I love that she has one tooth showing.  I really like the colorful-ness of this series. Maybe it is a ray of sunshine during these difficult times. :-)

 All of the background papers in this series are ones that I made using deli paper.  They include a variety of techniques.  I am trying to use up art supplies that I have either purchased or papers that I have made.  I think I will never have to buy more supplies except maybe paper and adhesives.  In my search through what I have I am amazed at how much I have and have not used.

I loved this woman on a  bicycle so much I had to add her to two backgrounds but in reverse direction.  Thank you Photoshop for helping me out.  Thank you to the artist who created this vintage piece.

What the Heck! starts a new series which I will tell you about as we progress through the 26 pieces in the series.  I began working on these pieces after I volunteered to make a postcard for new members of the NW Collage Society.  There are 21 new members as of January 1.  I have been working on this series for about a week and have 15 of them completed.  The remaining 15 still need focal points and they will be done. Onward I go! :-)

Mini-Journal No. 15 - 04

Here we are at the end of mini-journal no. 15.  I do have a no. 16 but it will need to wait until later as I started a project and the first of the project will be introduced tomorrow.

Here is the video for no. 15.....

Mini-Journal No. 15 - 03

Mini-Journal No. 15 - 03

Some of the photography of the mini journals seems cloudy and others seem crystal clear.  Part of the issue is the photographer, me.  The best images are when I scan before binding when the journal is flat on the scanner.  There are times when the photographer, me, is so bent on getting the content bound that he forgets and then has to scan or photograph the contents more awkwardly.  I think this must be the case on here.
