Collage: Spring to Fall on the Prairie

I enjoyed doing a couple of these collages again.

The first flower in the spring is the prairie crocus.

Prairie roses bloom in June.

The sunflowers are some of the last flowers in the fall. I like the variety of colors!

More Postage Stamps and Pressed Flowers

Here are a few recently completed postage stamp and flower designs.

This frame is black and measures 14" x 14".

Here is another design in the same type of frame. (The picture was taken before the stamps were secured, they are straighter now!)

A closer look at the roses and Golden Alexander.

Pressed Flowers in Interesting Frames

I've had these frames for several years. The oval frame swivels.

The tiny drawer does indeed pull out.

Pansies and still more pansies....

Orange cosmos with maple leaf hibiscus leaves

I like to have some framed crocus on my craft fair table.

Photo Collages

I've spent a few days making a variety of photo collages.

The bottom photo of crocuses is from the spring of 2011.

The picture of our father's truck was taken by sister Anita.

Mini Rose Collage

This was a fun little frame to put together. The openings are 2 x 3.

Orange Cosmos, Sunflowers and Minis

Minimalistic orange cosmos...

Today's Projects

These collage frames are rather small, just 9.5" x 5" outside measurement.

It was fun to do a variety of arrangements today.

Do you have a favorite?

The picture of the windmill is black and white.

Mini Collage

The openings in this little frame are just 2" x 3" so I trimmed a windmill picture to fit, and used my favorite Prairie Smoke in the other side. I'm pleased with how it turned out. I might need to find more of these frames!

Pressed Flowers and Postage Stamps

I've been experimenting with incorporating postage stamps in my flower designs.

Most of these stamps have flowers on them.

Australia has some great stamps!

I have more ideas, and hope to get some new designs worked up.

Blue-eyed Grass

Here's another evidence of our abundant moisture.

It's unusual to see this blue-eyed grass in large clumps.

Our rain total since May 1st is over 10 inches....
