inspiration takes form on 3 inch by 3 inch paper
a snip of an ivory doily found languishing upon a thrift store shelf
becomes a part of this piece yet any medium works together

3 x 3 collage can be a gentle escape for a busy life . it takes little time with no real rules
yet is small enough not to overwhelm you or your space

What a wonderful idea.
I love this, Elk... Sometimes the best things are created on the fly, sometimes the biggest art is small. :o) Happy Days ((HUGS))
I stopped by the Inspiration Studio as you suggested...what a nice venue for sharing the work of your hands! Wish I knew how to do a link to share...it becomes more of a necessity these days.
This is so very creative...and inspiring. Excellent!!!
becky I think that you can leave it in the comments or Kim may be including a "Mr Linky" ...check back OK!? so glad you like the idea
again, you are an inspiration.
hope your birthday was sunny.
thank you for your inspiration.

Ohhhh, love this! I want to go crochet a doily, just to chop it up into beautiful pieces to merge with something else!
you inspired me this weekend. i thought about how you take what you have and create something so beautiful and unique. i gathered scraps from my metal class and worked this weekend creating some rings. it was fun.
oh how i love you!! and this 3 x 3....
xxo, kim
Small, yet strong...I'm thinking of this as I'm looking at your collage. And happy belated birthday - I hope it was filled with many memorable moments.
Nice small thing.
...you always inspire me...but this is wonderful!...I'm heading over to your link to the Inspiration Studio now!

Beautiful weaving through the lace...
beautiful, I love the size of it, not overwhelming, just enough. Ironically I am working on a collage today :)
beautiful inspiration.
Lovely colors :)
done and going to do!
I love this making do and gathering
inspiration to share! I posted a
belated birthday message for you on prior post! Hope it was magical~
That's really pretty, Mom. I like the connection between what you write about, not getting overwhelmed by too much, and what the paper pieces say, "one day is simply not enough". That definitely speaks to me and my life.
I love you and your creations.
