Here's my latest piece for the Collage Dreams on Paper class. I'm not really happy with the lettering but I did it - still afraid of that darn lettering and that's probably why I'm struggling with it so much. But, as I struggle with the lettering, I'm getting more comfortable with the new background style at least. I may reuse this main figure and try another one. The main figure will be showing up in parts on one of my collage sheets soon. I'm still working on some other body parts to add to that sheet but I've got it about 3/4 done. Hope to blog visit and flickr visit over the next few days - I miss everyone and I've been hunkered down in my own little world. Time to throw open the curtains and see what's going on outside!

This is an 8 x 10 collage (approximately) using a face, body, legs, and shoes from one of my own collage sheets (not yet released), a hat purchased from clipart.com, and wings purchased with a commercial license from Butterfly Utopia. All but the wings and hat were printed in black and white and then hand colored. Regarding the border pieces: the flowers, wavy black and white stripes, teal and white piece at the bottom, and number 9's are from Studio Maya at Scrapbookgraphics.com; the parking meters were purchased from clipart.com; the rest of the border pieces are from my own collage sheets at tumblefishstudio.etsy.com. All pieces were attached to a background altered with NeoColors, PanPastels, and ink.
Have a great weekend!

Miss you Sweet Marsha!! I love your take on the Zetti so much. Make sure you sign up for my 200th post Giveaway!!! And you are right. Your health is more important. Very wise sweet Friend. Love, Jamie
Very smart! Just say no to Michaels! $500.00 is not worth your time or the money. I'm asking Santa for money so I can buy another Marsha print!
No to the job! You go girl...... We are all waiting for what ever you have to bring on, selfish little souls we are xxx Can't wait for the next Digital Sheet - loving them, they are making me explore - such success!
This is really cool. Quite different but still very YOU! I am contemplating a job too but wondering if I will be able to handle it. Oh my, university! It is such a big jump from high school to college, but very exciting:)
Hope you are happy and well.
Cheers, from Nova Scotia.
I love the pieces you've done in class, Marsha. It's interesting the way your own style and talent shines through.
It's great to see your work evolving - lettering definitely gets better the more you do, but this looks fine. Hope you have a successful weekend.
This Zetti piece is adorable. Love all the little details!
Have a wonderful weekend, Marsha!
Gorgeous work! Hace a nice weekend!
Good for you for your, Marsha! Sometimes money isn't everything. Love the new style, and I think you've conquered your lettering fears beautifully! Hugs, Terri xoxo
It's still Marsha and so much more to see, I really love it!
I love the new style, Marsha. The last few pieces are wonderful. X
Hope things are going well with the university visits. My sister is in town and I am having a wonderful visit with her.
This is really a nice Zettipiece! Love it! And: I like the letters too!
Have a great Sunday!
Hugs Hanne
It's fantastic Marsha...and there's nothing I can see that's wrong with your text lettering!
It looks "Las Vegas" - your page... I like it! The helmet is fantastic! Take good care of yourself dear, your health is the most important indeed!
Hey Marsh!
I like this collage. I wish I had a viking hat to wear while shoveling snow this winter. I'd do it too!!!!!

Your work is so amazing; sorry about health issues but I hope you'll be able to use the time to create... you are worth so much more than that! Besides how would you stay out of the supplies?
Love her.
Loved coming by and looking around again! Your art is so unique,don't change a thing by others classes. I've seen you in all the magazines lately,no wonder.
Very nice, I think the lettering looks great. I think that everyone feels a bit strange when they write in a style that isn't normally their own. glad to have found your blog!
simply amazing Marsha!
