12 Miniature Collages by Pamela Towns
I am always amazed at how much contrast and texture appears in all neutral compositions. These small (3″ x 3″) collages were all made from the little scraps of vintage papers that usually cover my work table (and floor) — the pieces I can’t bring myself to throw away. They tend to be neutral since I have an obsession with old papers. My love of typography also shows up in these pieces.

Out of Sync by Pamela Towns

Anachronism – a thing belonging or appropriate to a period other than that in which it exists, especially a thing that is conspicuously old-fashioned.

That sums up the papers used in most of my collages. This one especially.
