my circle collage |
This circle collage was inspired by Karena of Magic Jelly (check out her wonderful Flickr set). I loved the two beautiful collages she posted so much I wanted to try it out for myself.

My circles also have a concept running through them: travel. Here are some of the sources (if you click on the image you can have a closer look):
a globe from a Vermeer painting (from an old calendar); a boat seen in the sunset on the Thames (from a 1950s magazine); decorative motifs from Indian paintings (another calendar); an excerpt from Coleridge's poem, 'The Ancient Mariner' (a loose page from an old book); an envelope from Paris; a piece of old, 1940s map; scraps of Japanese chiyogami paper; a poster for 'Les Amants de Venise' from an 1950s newspaper; images of rusty surfaces and logs from a catalogue.
It was a lovely project to do. Thanks for the inspiration Karena!

So pretty! And the theme is great too! I love the way it turned out! Would love to try this too one day.
Yeah, I liked the introductions and updates too, but it's so much extra work. Oh well, the ads will still be there and those are the most important anyway:)
Perhaps one day I can do it again though...
Thanks! I'm trying to do a bit more today:) Hopefully do some blogging again too.
Hope you're doing well!
Thanks for letting me know:D So glad to hear they've arrived! And very happy you like everything!
What a fun idea! I really like it.
