Coming soon: more birds, more vintage ladies, and some vintage butterfly illustrations.

Products I love for collage and art journaling

A wonderful box with 100 beautiful postcards featuring detailed bird illustrations. There are two birds on each card, so this gives you 200 images to use in collage projects, handmade cards or art journals. (Or -- you can use these as intended, as postcards!) My favorite journal. The pages are sturdy enough so that paint does not bleed through, and they have nice rounded corners. If you pack it full of glued layers and paint, the built-in closure holds the book together. This is the larger of two sizes; the smaller 6"x8" size is also great, especially for traveling. A very inspiring book! I love to work with vintage ephemera, and this book shows some gorgeous pages and with vintage pieces.
