Well I have been teasing you all with news that my polaroid prints would be going into my shop. I can finally tell you they are now offiicially there. Please let me know if there is a photo that you like of mine that you don't see and I will add it to the shop.
To continue my week of color here is some blue:

a polaroid of my contribution to our project
One of the best things that has come out of me having a blog has been the opportunity to collaborate with other artists. I am always so excited when someone want to work on a project with me. I have received so many amazing things and gotten so inspired by how our projects have inspired my partners.
My most recent collaboration is with Jen of Painted Fish Studio. We each found a vintage photo that spoke to us and sent it to the other person. We in turn took the picture and came up with a story of sorts with whatever medium we chose. I guess it was kind of understood that we would do a collage of some sort. It was so much fun and I am absolutely thrilled with what Jen sent.
Jen and I already have another project in the works. This time it includes some words and of course my favorite kind of camera.
So for any of you who have wanted to ask but haven't. Yes I'd love to collaborate with you, what did you have in mind?
Finally, I did want to say thank you to typepad, I am honored to be a featured blog on their homepage today. If you are a new reader welcome, I'm glad you stopped by.
I am excited to announce that i will have a limited amount of my polaroid prints available in my etsy shop. My prints will be available this weekend. If you are interested in seeing what will be available look here, here, here, here and a few more that I will keep a surprise. Of course the one pictured above will be available also.
into the weekend. Have a good one!
but it sure was fun! I have a buffet that i like to redecorate throughout the seasons or when inspiration strikes. A few days ago i could feel summer slipping away even though it is blazing hot here. It is more of mindset thing I guess.
see my inspiration here. and more good stuff here, here and here.
The name of my blog is scissors.paper.glue but lately there hasn't been much of that around here has there? When I first started this blog, I intended to show my collage work here. Since then my blog has evolved, my creativity has evolved. I have been struggling to find a way to incorporate my love for collage with my love for taking polaroids. The above is my first attempt at that. I am not 100% happy with the result but I think it is a start.

Happy Monday!
The last few day have been very good for adding to my ever growing camera collection. Not all of these work but they sure look pretty. A new post here too.
The last few days I have been looking for inspiration. Literally. I took a look in a Salvation Army on the way home from picking up about 100 vintage books (free). I came away with more books, the above elephant and a few other things I will share soon. I then went to an antique mall and found a typewriter and a cool old camera. Then crossed the street to another antique store and came away with two more old cameras, one that is my favorite color blue. All for really, really, really cheap. So for the next few day I hope to be taking some photos. I am also going to try and shoot for a shop update in the next week or so. As much as I am sad to see summer end, it really is nice to get back into a rhythm. Carving out creative time is not easy especially in an unstructured summer setting.
I feel a little out of touch lately. I hope all my blog friends are well. xoxo jen
