suddenly the round card seems quite sensible, doesn't it?!

in comparison with this collage i made for my friend paul, i mean. of course when you first see the photo, it just looks like it is long and narrow; there isn't really a sense of scale. so perhaps i should tell you that this baby measures 5.25 x 24 inches. ...oh yeah...and did i mention it's a birthday card??! :)

it is made entirely of images clipped from magazines, on a framework of a few overlapping sheets of extra long index stock. i THINK it is done...but there is always a chance i will go back and add a little something...we shall see.

  1. It's beautiful! And I imagine it'd be quite a bit easier to make (... unless you can actually find one...) and envelope for this one than the round one.

  2. Who wouldn't love a 2 foot long birthday card? I'm glad you never constrain yourself to size when creating. ;)

  4. I was thinking the same thing as Kristie - I suspect if you mail it, it will take a little bit of extra postage. ;-) Very cool, though!

  5. Looks just perfect for hanging up in just the right narrow space on a wall ... I love it.

  7. Hi Lauren,

    It's Paul here .... just to let you know that recently I've changed my name. And sex. And moved to Bristol, in the good old U of K.

    So .... if you could hurry up and send my FABULOUS card I'd be everso grateful.

    Thanks.

    Paul
