Oh this is just fun! Presenting a paper collage from the Collage Mirage Collection: Zebra 1 of 2 by Jude Cowell 2017+    

Have you ever taken a few moments to view my album of paper collages at Gather ? Thought not! Then here's one titled Cat Archaeologist which might just put you in the mood: Plus, you're cordially invited to join in, if you like - just look for the Gather Group they call, 'Collage Mirage'! If you join Gather, you'll be able to join the conversation by commenting on articles, photos, and videos as well as publish your own content (make money or points for gift certificates; I prefer the book store gifties myself.) Yet even without joining Gather, viewing and reading are still available to you as you wish, so do drop by when ya can! ~:~ Jude Cowell Art Shop : open 24/7.

Ballet Collage , completed in 1991, is here copied, scanned, and published for you in black & white. The original collage (paper) is larger than my current scanner bed so scanning a copy of it is as good as it gets! One thing I enjoy about paper collages (running across old ones in particular) is that they can function later on as a small sort of Time Capsule for the societal concerns and topics of the day on which they were created; in this case, 18 years ago. (Warning: there may be dinosaurs afoot! Click to enlarge image.) So do you collage, lone reader? Well, I recommend trying it, if you haven't, because it's a barrel of monkeys even without your toe shoes. Plus, Collage Mirage is available for your inner collager as well.
