Decoupage Baubles

I spent a morning making new decoupage baubles.  I feel like a teenager, my scissors, a stack of magazines.  I love doing collage.

Framed Mosaic Collage

I have been working on making wooden picture frames to house my mosaics.  They are both waxed, one with gold tint, the other with red tint.  The mosaics both contain photos of vintage art.  The beads are from my bead collection going back to the 80's.  I rough the grout up with a textured towel.  My goal is a look of age.  the mosaics feel like little treasures found over time.  I want to start hunting for objects like keys and subway tokens etc...

My collection of vintage bird photos is growing

I got some great old books in NH. I got a few field guides, a edwardian women's country diary, some Audubon etc..... I am happy!  I want to start collecting animals too.
