Sovereignty - some more Zetti style collages

What I love about Nancy Baumiller´s image kits is that they come with beautiful printable collage sheets as well as png images. Recently, I´ve been in the mood to make some cut and paste collages again. With the new Sovereignty papers and images (available at MischiefCircus.com) I´ve made another cut and paste collaged page in my Moleskine journal (above) as well as a collaged envelope meant to hold a gift coupon - that´s why I´ve called it "With Love" (and because her chest is heart shaped, of course).

Imitating Nick Bantock Mail Art

It´s always difficult for me if I`m challenged to mimic someone else´s artistic style. Shelly asked for Nick Bantock styled tip-in pages with a typical mail art look, and they have to be made on book pages in a 4 x 6 format which makes an 8 x 6 spread in the end. I´ve only used a few of Nick Bantock´s own rubber stamps but tried to mostly feature other collage elements and stamps. I´ve left open one line of the original book text in each spread, and that´s how each spread is titled: God speaks in her (above) and Something rare (below). These will go out to Florida next week, so they´re not only travel themed, but will also go on a far journey themselves.
And as both spreads contain pieces of maps, they also go with this month´s Art Journal Journey challenge theme "Maps".

Heart Wide Open

Nancy from Crowabout StudioB has come out with three new image kits today. For my cut and paste postcards I´ve used her Textured Collage Papers and the Heart Wide Open kit (plus rubber stamps from PaperArtsy for "By the Stars and Moonlight" and from VivaLasVegaStamps for "Feel the Rain"), and for the cut and paste mail art envelope the background is from the Artist Papers kit.
These kits come with png images for digital use as well as jpgs on printable collage sheets for your cut and paste projects. As you can see in my samples, you don´t have to use them as they are - collage is all about constructing and deconstructing, overpainting, and making your own marks!

Going Postal!

I´ve recently joined Nancy Baumiller´s creative team, and here are my first pieces for her Crowabout StudioB at Mischief Circus, all made with images from her new kit "Going Postal - Mail Art". I´ve had a lot of fun making Zetti styled cut and paste artwork with the collage sheets that come with her kit.
The first one above is a Moleskine journal page, the background is from Nancy´s kit "Flying Lessons".
The picture below shows a collage made on a mailing envelope with a background from her kit "Dress Up".

 And this third piece below is a Mail Art envelope, also made on a background from "Dress Up".
