This piece came together from a couple of fun finds. The 'book' box was found at Michael's and offered a perfect medium for collage and assemblage. On sale too - so naturally I've picked up a couple. The wood-cut figure and the odd clock-faces came from a favorite online source of mine,
Artchixstudio.com, hailing from Victoria, Canada and the inspiration and work of the oh-so-lovely Helga.
Add some of my favorite themes - travel, shoes, hands and an odd bit here and there and it comes together nicely. The 3-dimensional suitcases were created by collaging over wood pieces and the map embellishments were also collaged on wood.. It was said to me that this was a 'sweet' version of my usual work, but hey, I do enjoy a piece of white chocolate on a regular basis, so why not!
