Getting Ready for The Maker's Hand

I'm packing up my paintings and Muse Journals to take to The Maker's Hand in Picton, Ontario. We set up on Thursday and the show opens on Friday, November 5th - 10 to 8 - and continues Saturday and Sunday, November 6th and 7th - 10 to 5.
I had fun with Picassa for Mac today, creating art and book collages for promotional rack cards. It made me realize that I have been creating LOTS of art and books this year! I printed, cut and collated the rack cards so that a different one appears each time one is taken.
I love the way Picassa creates the collages with just parts of the image showing. It makes each piece quite mysterious...
Journal entries, Muse Journal covers, sculptural pieces, digital art, mixed media paintings... they are all jumbled up together.
If you look closely, you will even find a picture of me, hiding behind a painting.
New work, old work, favourite work...
There is just no end to the collages I could make :)

    Hi Holly I got all excited about Picasa collages and then found out I need an intel processor. The pressure's building for me to upgrade. Now if only I had some cash! Hmmmmmm! Stuff looks great by the way.

    Cheers
    Chris
