Collage 365: I'm mad, mad, mad about paper. After years of writing, I'm now storytelling through daily collage making. I rely on used materials from antique/vintage images & ephemera to found & recycled objects.

Mad Women: There Was No More Penny Pinching
Now That Helen Was The Primary Breadwinner
I'm on another Mad Women tear. Something about the coming holidays inspired me to add more collages to the series, which tweaks 1950s stereotypes about women. Note the festive red-and-green color scheme supplied by the vintage trading stamps and recycled coin wrapper. The green background behind the couple was in the original illustration from an ad in Ladies Home Journal and blended so well with the stamps that I decided to keep it. 4.75" x 4.75" on archival mat board. (SOLD)
