I did this for a sample of a challenge in my Additional Alphabets lettering class. This is one of the alphabets students learn how to do. I thought a haiku lent itself very well to this type of layout.

A personal favourite quote of mine....

Faerie
Inspired by some illustrations from a children's book that a young friend named Selina lent our family, I thought I would draw my version of a faerie....hope you like it, Selina!

This was another attemp at collage on a 4x6 postcard. I loved how the colours turned out on this card!

This is a 4x6 postcard that I made for a swap. One of my first attempts at collage - not as easy as it looks! I was happy with the end result, I wanted it to have a soft, gentle feel.
