a teabag, collage and a midwest wedding

she knew she was from another time

on the outside but on the inside she soars.

i did a few collages in a small sketch book.

i used one brochure for the collage material.

this is a self portrait

to give you an idea of size.

this past weekend i attended a wedding

in bloomington, indiana where 

the leaves were just beginning to display

their fall beauty.

there was a special exhibit by a brazilian artist, Vic Muniz 

at the indiana university art  museum.

his work inspired me to cut and paste... and i can't stop!

some of us in my print group had traveled a bi recently.

we discussed the fact that travel opens the 

senses because, partly, because you are free of every day

chores and responsibilities.  You can be open to the

new, use your senses to take in your surroundings

and process in a different way.  one of the reasons

i love to travel!  do you find this to be true?

i am linking this post with the folks at

paint party friday hosted weekly by kristen and eva.
