From Suki to Patty


Suki - I received your black and white card in the mail today! I too love the beauty of b & w - I'm a big fan of Ansel Adams' photography. Suki writes on the back "this collage is made from a print of my own photos and scraps from an old journal and a fragment of a b & w painting." I'm not sure if something else was attached or if it got water damaged. There is a layer of glue along the front center that makes me think something else was there. Regardless, I think it has a stark beauty to it, at first glance it looks like a lone birch tree! Thank you Suki! I love checking the mail now!

  5. Patty, yes this was originally "Art Money" and there was a piece of vellum down the front which I tore off (I forget why) but it left that small piece of vellum still attached. I didnt notice the glue! Sorry.
