“Far away in the sunshine are my highest inspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see the beauty, believe in them and try to follow where they lead.”

Collage Postcard for Cricket – 4″ x 6″ Postcard
This is another of my postcard collages. My very first time doing something like this. My friend, Cricket, is a big part of our local farmer’s market. I imagine she has grown a tomato or two. I really hope she likes it. 
About Louisa May Alcott
Louisa May Alcott, the beloved American author, is best known for her semiautobiographical novel, Little Women, which was made into a movie five different times. Born on November 29, 1832 near Philadelphia, she grew up in Massachusetts. Her family lived in the genteel poverty depicted in her fiction. She wrote lurid stories anonymously to bring in money but gained fame under her own name with young adult novels, which held readers with their warm characterizations and simple, engaging style. She died on March 6, 1888.
Love your collage work!!! Fantastic!!! ~Sophia
Thanks, Sophia. It was my first time trying something like this.
New projects in new styles are always fun! I don’t think collage is my thing but I bet it would be fun to go through all kinds of fabric and findings.
It was fun…. but no, collage is not really my thing either, as it turns out.
