This is a new series of contemporary paper collages realised using a mix and match of new and vintage paper.
I used:
• Vintage paper ephemera (old postcards, paper cuts, portraits)
• Recycled paper from envelopes
• Brand new paper cuts
• For the decorations I mostly used marker pens, stickers and washi tape.
