About the Artist

 

 
Deco Pages
Deco is short for "Decorated" and refers to a small booklet that is exchanged among a group of collage artists.  Below are examples of both pages I have created in the booklets of other artists and Decos I have constructed and collaged for myself.

"One Image" Deco.  I made 6 prints of my "Asters" ATC with hand-carved images and slid them into an ATC sleeve that I mounted on the front cover of this collaged booklet, spiral bound.  Each artist will then take one card and use it in her artwork. CD Deco "Across the Universe" has  a paper accordion between two CD covers.  Collage papers are glued directly to the front of the CD
