Studio Series: Postal Collage

Postal collage © Karen Thiessen, 2014

These postal marks are a thing of the past and I'm glad that I collected them when I did and that I actually used them instead of just hoarding more paper.

Yesterday I organized my studio in preparation for two new bodies of work. Year after year, the roll-up-the-sleeves work always begins with cleaning and organizing my studio. When I found myself clearing my collage table and then rearranging storage bins, I realized that I was ready to move beyond the research and concept development phase and start the messy process of making.
