Latest collage: "Getting the Word Out"

An old Japanese postage stamp, a page from a vintage Japanese book, and a background of envelopes (the "security" patterns we often see inside junk mail envelopes) form this collage. To me, it's all about communication -- envelopes, postage stamps, chopped-up stamps, etc.

All of these collages are quite small -- 4.75" x 4.75" -- and are enabling me to struggle play with the entire process without the fear of a huge blank space in front of me demanding to be filled. Small steps . . .
