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...

Vision and Dreams By Sue Marrazzo

I just started making One-Of-A-Kind Collage Note Cards. They are in 3 different sizes. These original collages are created using found papers, art papers and found objects. Vision and Dreams is one that I made this week. It is being sold in a local gallery...Brath and Hughes Fine Art Gallery, www.brathandhughes.com  

They are signed, titled and numbered. It can be sent to someone as a gift, and then enjoyed as a work of art at a later date! 

These look great framed and matted, too!
