"Sweet" from a series of collages made from labels, magazines and other bits of rubbish. It was my job to burn all of these things as I was a receptionist... I have never been able to bear waste & I had a lot of free hours to kill whilst waiting for the phone to ring so I made this series of story collages- whimsical, dreamy, humorous & perhaps a little absurd. They are best places where they can be read. This one is one of my favourite stories. If you'd like to read it the larger image can be found on my website ☝️💕 #storycollage #collage #art (at Somerset)
