JANUARY 2013 DPP CHALLENGE BY SUE MARRAZZO

HERE IS MY THIRD TRY AT THIS MONTH'S 1ST CHALLENGE OF 2013. I CREATED A COLLAGE ON BRISTOL PAPER. I USED FOUND PAPERS FOR THIS: A REPURPOSED ENVELOPE, A CHOPSTICK WRAPPER, A COCKTAIL UMBRELLA, A DOILY, A VINTAGE AND NEW MAGAZINE PAPER. ALL THREE COLLAGES ARE SO DIFFERENT, BUT I USED ALL RE-PURPOSED, FOUND PAPERS.... 

THAT WAS THE COMMON THREAD IN THESE MINI COLLAGES!

"Goldfinch and Bluebird"
1 1/4" each Oil on metal

My little grandson insisted on giving me these metal pins with a chevy emblem on them when I visited them in Texas last fall. I kept them and decided to re-purpose them at some point to put on my hat. Thanks to the DPP Challenge blog this month I found the perfect use for them!
