This a work in progress. We learned about putting together layers of material and keep on working something until we felt it was done and not feel some parts were too precious to cover up.
This reminds me of making altered books with kids in my English classes and telling them that they were like archeological layers, that if you didn't like something you simply pasted over it.
I love the idea of receiving regular postcards Sylvia. What a wonderful collection you must have now.
I will go and check for a picture of the finished collage. I do have an album at Web Shots with more pictures of this workshop. http://community.webshots.com/user/skleindinst1 It is sometimes difficult to cover over a picture but in the end, the work may be better if it is kept with less instead of too much stuff.
The Soul Food Hermitage Store is the place where travellers, who plan to travel lightly, can stop to buy some supplies. The Messenger and Tote bags are perfect
for carrying your journal, scissors, glue and pens. Buy one and you will be ready to write anywhere, be it at the local coffee shop or while waiting for an appointment.
The Lemurian Playmates are a group who met in Nina’s Tree House and decided to work on Mail Art, Altered Books, Artistic Trading Cards and other art forms.

archeological layers - that's a cool way at looking at collage.
Sylvia - please post a picture of the collage when it is completed - I would love to see the finished product.
A fascinating idea with lots of possibilities. Great pic of work in motion.
