Honest Abe By Sue Marrazzo

Today, I was inspired by the 150th Anniversary of the Gettysburg Address by President Abraham Lincoln. I was making handmade collage note cards for a local art gallery. I first saw the picture of President Abraham Lincoln...and the rest of the papers fell into place in this collage. Honest Abe was created using found papers, handmade art papers, acrylic medium, acrylic paint and found objects. This is what I created...It's a One-Of-A-Kind work of Art, which is also a card. Take a look...
