new items in my shop!

Some new collages for my Oh Sweet Woods series are in the shop today! I haven't listed all of them yet, but they'll be up soon. I'm still printing the books, and I'm working on five special editions (!) that will be for sale first. But if you can't wait for the whole collection, you can get single originals right now! I've posted some of my favourites right now, I will almost be sad to see them go...

There are pieces in these collages from the lovely 1940s illustrated Winston dictionary I picked up back home for $1, I am really really loving it. I love the colour of the pages and the size of the illustrations (tiny!). Nice to know that my selfish book collecting can amount to something, haha.







PS. I think I might have a little giveaway soon, I've never had one before. I'm not going to say "one of the special edition boxed books" because that would be saying too much... Hush hush!

Hey, gorgeous collages. You know these are all over Tumblr, and I've always wondered where they came from. Good job, they're beautiful!

Please sign me up for a special edition ;)

I love your collages...beautiful beautiful work.

Thank you both!

No need to worry, you know I will have one put aside for you Kelly!

i just took a look at your tumblr and i have to say that i've never seen a collection of images that speak more to my tastes than yours. so, so perfect. i can't wait to see what you discover next!
