PAPERCRAFTING

I said on the collage gallery page that I had run into a problem of not having enough bits and bobs to do my cards justice. So I went out and started buying a few things, and the nore I shopped, the more things I wanted to buy. Tyhis in itself left me with items that I now had to use. In the meantime I had found a friendly group on Ebay and discovered papercrafting. Another different technique! Well no actually just collage with more stuff that had been purchased and some 'mechanical' designs. Here are an eclectic collection:-
