Great collage inside, too. And the stamps weren't even cancelled.<br /><br />To answer a question about the musician on the envelope - I think it is Eric Clapton playing guitar, although the envelope is over 20 years old, so my memory is pretty rough going back that far.FinnBadgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17623312291708136478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29130064.post-68733870128812768442015-02-02T09:57:19.238-08:002015-02-02T09:57:19.238-08:00Wow, that must have broken a Canada Post record, S...Wow, that must have broken a Canada Post record, Susanna. 5-6 days (and over a weekend) from Canada to Germany?

That almost never happens so what could I do but get the glue stick out? (Well, I went for a bike ride, too. That was nice.) Tara - I really like that one too. I'm going to experiment some more. Perhaps a series? And I thought you might like that one Dori.

(Love the yellow one, by the way, looks perfect to me, but what do I know, I hardly ever collage anything).<br /><br />Looking at it, I think the issue for me is too much contrast between the paper animal and the big black circle considering the transitions on the rest of the collage.<br /> <br />Blending that area (sanding - what a great idea!) might resolve it.FinnBadgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17623312291708136478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29130064.post-78146614124875181222014-12-01T07:52:38.222-08:002014-12-01T07:52:38.222-08:00I think I am going to have to change my Blogger pl...I think I am going to have to change my Blogger platform (it's very old now) as I can't seem to reply to each of your comments separately. Thank you, Pamela, TARAdactyl and Jack for weighing in with your kind words and suggestions. I have the collages in frames propped against the wall and am giving them a good look over. It's the little creature in the red one that seems to be the most problematic. He might need to be sanded off or papered over. Will let you know!
