Joe Webb








Joe Webb is most definitely one of my collage heroes. Here is just a small sampling of his work.
I think his collages are political, surreal, humorous and beautiful. What more could one aspire to? You can find his work for sale here.

beginning again

So, it looks like yet another beginning and this at 57 years of age!
In May 2016, I sold my online & brick 'n mortar fabric shop, (Volksfaden was and still is, it's name) thinking it was time for a change. I have not regretted this decision but after a few months, I knew it was time to start something new.
I began creating the photo collages for the Volksfaden website shortly after it was up and running. I had the idea for the collages on the website but didn't have the technical savvy to create them. A graphic designer, Ina Neubert, did the first series of collages but I eventually took over, firstly because I wanted to and secondly to cut expenses. (so much for teaching an old dog new tricks!)
Let's face it, running a small business can be very rewarding and alot of fun but there often may not be a budget for graphic design, advertising and marketing, so the buck stopped here. Collage making became one of my few consistent creative outlets. I may have given up Volksfaden but I will be sticking with the digital cut 'n paste and have even put some of them up for sale on society 6. So here I am...let's get this party started!
