collage: two cats for one bird (and shoe)
As promised, although a bit late in the posting, is one of the new collages I have been working on! This one is called "two cats for one bird (and shoe)". A bit strange perhaps? But there was once a time where bartering was super common and made a lot of sense... ok, so maybe not in the 1950s department store, as this collage suggests, but that's just getting technical. Not sure who is getting a better deal here... I guess that depends on whether you are a cat person, a bird person, or a shoe person (I am the latter, btw). I have put a lot of those collage-y bits I posted about to good use, so will be posting more collages soon!

I love it! Hmmm...I think I would have to go with I am a shoe person, but do still love birds and cats :)

What a fun collage :) Great work!
ReplyDeleteValerie, I love it. Yep, it would be awesome if we were still barter friendly. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely evening, T. :)
Love the new piece!
ReplyDeleteI would want both the shoe and the cats. Birds are nice, but not in the house.
I really like the swirls of 'bird song' in this
Looks good!

Cute. Reminds of when the shoe salesman was always there with a shoe horn to assist!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

Love it! I'm really loving the vintage-y stuff right now (probably most in thanks to Mad Men) :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute, I love it! I would take the cats I think
ReplyDeleteLove the collage :)

I love it! So whimsical and fun. I think the woman will get her other shoe :)
ReplyDeleteI love the the white line contrasting against the figures!
ReplyDeleteAwesome as usual!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun collage. I think the cat lady is getting the better deal...or is the man getting the cats? Well, whoever gets them in the end is the winner in my books.

Collages should tell a story. I love the idea of bartering.
ReplyDeleteWonderful collage.
