All pieces are mixed media (mostly paper) and
are 5 x 8", except where noted.
The inspiration for the following
series of collages came from an old
book I discovered at my mom's
house entitled "Patsy Carroll's Stories
for Girls".  It was written in 1935 by
Grace Gordon, and the pages are
what hold the work together...literally.
