June

Not only is it June... it is a week into June. What happened? I have been scanning in images from older publications and started with Fortune magazine June 1944. It has some great illustrations and I soon realized it was the month of the Normandy beach landing…D Day. So I will add a page from that publication.

I have been gardening and binging on International Mystery programs I had taped a year ago. I have avoided the computer and phone calls but after reading Carol Leigh's blog and her plans to commit to collage I thought I better get back to work.  Thanks Carol!

Siren...for a Day

All images Circa 1950s.

Fresh and Hot!

I found this lady in a "Glamourous Lingerie" ad in a 1950s magazine. I am having a good time making up stories for these ladies.

Breathe

I did this for the Photoshop Artistry Group Challenge 23 where we were to create a piece of art that expresses a kind of contented timelessness.

It started out cut and paste and then to Photoshop to add the history of the world civilizations and an engraving of islands etc.

Misadventures

Just a hint of green for St.Pattie's Day.

China Watch

This is a cut and paste collage of vintage screen papers and brought into Photoshop for the vignette and chop signature. The red is an older map of China in red and pinks. Marvelous! The watcher is from a comic book.

Red Raven

The wonderful ad I found in a 1907 Cosmopolitan magazine had a full page Red Raven ad. It is the Egyptian looking blue bird in the background. It seemed very familiar to me so I searched through my Victorian Trade Card collection in the medicinal section and found one advertising Red Raven. The chromolith is featured on the digital pin I made for this collage. It was a mineral water that was very healthy for you hence the Red Cross armband.
