Wow, I had no idea you were so accomplished until someone referenced one of your books. Your youtube video in the California Starbucks is such a wonderful campaign. Congrats!

Collage is my very favorite art expression and this is just beautiful.  I usually don't care for "flower pictures", but this is just so wonderful.  makes me think I could spend long happy hours just sitting in front of it, LOL!  Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone.  Thanks so much for this gift to all of us.  Please don't ever stop!

EcoHeidi - anyone can do with good materials what looks like garbage, but do this in the opposite direction and that this could not be seen - it can only real artists!  Excellent work!  My congratulations!
