As promised, here are some daily ephemera pages I made over the last couple of weeks. I started by creating single pages, then I found I rather enjoyed making two-page spreads. Single pages took me about half an hour to make and double ones about an hour. I have to confess that I started out […]

My Daily Ephemera Workshop Poster collage is composed of: map pieces, wrapping paper, magazine images, old hand written letters, bus transfer, political flyer, calendar fragment, scrapbook paper, alphabet stickers, words from poetry book, legend of shopping mall map and Dymo tape writer.

After months of collaging, I decided to try my hand at something new.
