For years, my creativity was expressed solely through the written word. That’s fine, only that was also how I earned my living. As a result, I always believed my vision was limited by only using one medium. Creating collages allowed me a non-word outlet that revitalized my writing on all levels—from fiction to fact. At the end of August I indulged myself by ordering a basket of ephemera and mixed media materials from 2 Sisters’ Things: Supplies for the Mixed Media Artist (www.2SistersThings.com ). I received a large wicker hamper FILLED with cool things: old playing cards, sheets of antique music, pages from books, art reproductions, doll heads, buttons galore, and the list could go on and on. I hadn’t really thought about doing mixed media art, but who can resist now? After all, we DO have some free wall space in our house that is begging for a concoction of netting, a full-size parasol, a black satin glove, and a montage of doll parts!
