January 2013 | Return to the Caribbean

In 2012, I began making a collage-a-day as my Advent Calendar to create a moment of quiet during the busy holiday season. I keep it simple and portable. All of my supplies fit into a quart size plastic bag. Some collages take a couple of hours, others take only 10 minutes, it all depends on the day.

Sometimes I make these collages at other times of the year. This is one such collage.

Collages are made from a collection of ephemera papers on 5×5 inch substrates with various other mediums including gesso, acrylic paints, pens, markers and pencil.
