Three Bottle Junk Mail Collage

December 3, 2014 by Michele

Once completed, I like to run my hands gently over the surface of a junk mail collage. Why? Why, you ask? Well, if you must know, it’s because the texture of a junk mail collage is, in a word, irresistible. I would describe it as “smooth yet nubbly”. I know I probably shouldn’t be manhandling the thing but it cannot be helped.

Don’t worry. Very soon this sweet one will be in a new home. Safely away from my groping little hands.

    PS. Sadly I do not sew…at all. I believe safety pins were invented to reattach buttons, so no sewing needed!

    It's beautiful!

    Would you turn that into a quilt, or are you done with a design once you've done it in some way?
