Collaging on drugs :)




Okay, so the muscle relaxer helped a little and the 800 mg Ibuprofen helped a lot. I got out a few things to make a quick collage and it was just what the doctor ordered. I've had that shell for a long time just waiting to be used on something. The blue dotted background is a picture of some type of eel from a Nat'l Geographic magazine! Doesn't it look like a nice, comfy bed? That is the best mag to cut up for collages.
I have a stash of quotes in a box. I choose carefully after making the collage to see which one is the best fit.
Her tatoo is a rub-on decal, the lotus is from a new age magazine from Whole Foods, and the woman was found in an art magazine.
Now I'll see how this looks on cards and offer them on Etsy.

I'm off to watch Idol, take another horsie Ibuprofen and go to bed early for my 13 hour shift tomorrow.  

Thanks for your well wishes!

    I might have to subscribe to Nat Geo, just to cut up! (Smithsonian magazines are great too, if you ever get to see some copies...)
    Glad you had an art day.

  7. I adore this collage and the one in the previous post too.
    Don't you love it when a saved element (shell) finds it's home?
    You do such a great job of finding the 'just right' to combine.
    Hate that your back is giving you fits!
    13 hours can't help,,,,wow. Long day!
    If I take a muscle relaxer I have to just check out.No way could I create anything.I am such a drug 'lightweight'.
