Postcards from the past

I created these postcard collage pieces over 25 years ago...which is hard for me to believe on so many levels.

These were created the old fashion way, tons of magazines, a sharp blade, glue stick and lots of cutting, no computer to smooth the lines and clean up the images

Share and enjoy.
