My current obsession is one I have rekindled - the ancient (?) art of collage. I've been buying books with rad, old-school pictures from the op-shop and tearing out the best pictures for this great, enduring kindergarten love (other kindergarten loves that have endured include colouring-in, spelling bees and juice).
Isn't that picture cool? I am toying with putting it in a frame for Baboushka's bedroom...although the dead moose is perhaps a little macabre for a 6-month-old...
Tearing pages out of books feels so naughty, but good naughty. I wonder if they will still let me be a librarian..?

Great idea! They somehow remind me a bit of the the pictures on the walls of "Pettson and Findus" :)
I would never ave thought of doing something like that!
Can't wait to see how it turns out.
Just the other day I saw a similar collage idea - cutting out pages of text from book and arranging them in a huge frame in a wonky, cool fashion. Then, the artist cut out photos of her family - the bodies in the appropriate size and proportion and glued them on top. It sounds whack but it was incredibly cool.
wow, what a great idea! i would never have thought of that!
Oh I still love collage too. Especially the ripping part.
Lovely pictures.
I love the pictures, and collage!
I need a new coffe table so I can put glass on top and a collage underneath:)
Oh you are bad! I'm just glad they don't check library records before allowing you to become a librarian because I would be banned on the basis of too many late fines.
@Parapluie: They are a bit Pettson & Findus, aren't they?!
@Aneets: In the rare event that they do get finished, I'll stick them up ;-)
@K.Line: That does sound cool - it's so frustrating when someone with raw talent seemingly throws something together, and if I tried to recreate it, it would be lame. Darned talent.
@Alli and Cristi: thanks, guys! There's something so satisfying about the ripping part ;-)
@Miss.Katie: Now that is a cool idea!
@Ballarat Vintage Style: oh gosh, so would I! I only paid my uni library fines at the very end - they wouldn't have let me graduate otherwise ;-)
