Here’s another in the new collage series - this one is based on the view from the yoga studio at Miraval in Tucson, Arizona. I’ve had photos of this view for years, it’s such a striking vista - I usually meditate with my eyes closed, but this view...
All those new collage papers I made in Paducah set me off down the rabbit hold of fodder techniques. Time to put the big stash of new goodies to use - this is the first in a series called All My Dreams Flew Out the Window - in the best possible...
