One World One Heart

Photo

Lisa of A Whimsical Bohemian has organized a truly special blogging event called One World One Heart with this lovely purpose . . . . "to meet new and wonderful people. Bloggers come from all walks of life, all socioeconomic backgrounds, all areas of the world, female, male......some are artists exclusively, some dabble, some are professionals in various areas, some are stay at home parents, some are teachers, some are very young and some are up in years. The common denominator in blogging is that we all have stories to tell....be it through visual means or life stories or the day-to-day or art work or handwork of varying kinds or poetry and journaling."


So, welcome visitors! Here is my piece to share with you . . . One World, One Heart

copyright by Marsha Jorgensen 1/16/09

This is a 3 3/4 by 4 3/4 collage using black and white vintage images, reprinted, trimmed and hand-colored and arranged with wings from jackandcatcurio, crown from lisasalteredart.etsy.com, moon from nasa.gov, and handmade scraps, all on a watercolored background.


Blogging has truly opened up the world to me and brought to me some of the most special, creative, generous, and caring people I have ever met. It has made the world a little smaller and a whole lot bigger all at the same time. It is an honor to participate in this event with all of you!


If you are participating in One World, One Heart and post a comment on this post to introduce yourself, you will be entered into a drawing to win the piece pictured above. If I haven't already, I will visit your blog as soon as you comment so we can get to know each other! I will notify the winner on February 12th! You have to click the time listed below this post to leave a comment (I have a blogspot glitch - sorry about that!).


If this is your first visit to my blog and you have the time, you can read more about me here (so you don't have to search around for info). I am relatively new to collage and altered art. I started making a few ATC's last year. It wasn't until this last August that I worked on anything larger and with the idea that I wanted to make art for sale. I have taught art to elementary students and parent docents for many years, and have been an elementary school librarian for many years. I graduated with a BFA in graphic design over 20 years ago, long before computers were introduced to college art programs. I earned my focus in graphic design mostly by hand setting type and making plates of my images and printing them on a Vandercook letterpress often using handmade paper. I love vintage pictures and looking for new ways to use them in my art. I also love vibrant, sharp colors to frame these vintage pictures.


There are links on the right side of this blog if you're interested in purchasing art, seeing more of my work in flickr, or just interested in visiting many of the blogs that inspire me. There are a lot of talented writers and artists out there that I am pleased to share with you.
