blue dress in a blue room, Sharon Whitley and maps part 1. . .

First This is my first 'collage' interior.  I like the pieces that I added and - as far as interiors - I do plan to 'step it up' in the future.  Unfortunately I ruined her first dress and I had to search for the second 'perfect' dress which made me question my future as a 'dress collager'. . .

Sharon Whitley - doing what she do . . .

Then The very talented artist Sharon Whitley said that she would like to collage and incorporate maps into her pieces.   When you see this beautiful photo and her wonderful landscape pieces you can understand her interest.  Her idea of using maps opens up a whole new world.

 This is by Matthew Cusick.

 This is a map collage by the artist Jamie Poole.

These are two map collages by the artist Mary Nasser.  

From 'The Beautiful List'

 You can use maps to collage people, places and things . . .

And just as I thought about never doing a collage dress again - I was softened by these handmade paper dresses.
