This is my collage for the collage challenge at The Three Muses this week. The prompt was "The Written Word". I decided to make a cut-and-paste work this week instead of a digital one. I used strips from old book pages I have and pages from a shorthand magazine my mother collected. I stained torn pieces of old map pages with purple chalk ink (and my favorite tool for staining, my finger!!) and then rubber stamped this inspirational quote from Franz Kafka with three different alphabet stamp sets I have.
I'd like to thank Kirsi of the blog Itkupilli in The City of Angels for her inspiration for this piece. She posted this quote recently and when I read it, it planted the seed in my mind for this piece! Thank you! Her creativity continues to amaze and inspire me!
