In a recent art journal spread, inspired by a class in 21 Secrets by Cathy Bluteau, I used some flowers in my collage which I had cut out of napkins. You can see the original napkins in the photo to the right, and how they were used in the close up shots below.
Although they are a wonderful source of lovely collage elements, it gets expensive to have to buy a whole package and only use one or two images in your arts, so...
I've decided to hold a "Beautiful Napkin Swap" of napkins that have flowers or birds on them. What I would ask everyone to do, is go out and buy a package of pretty napkins that have either birds or flowers (or both) on them. Take one of the napkins out to keep for yourself, and then mail the rest of the package to me. I will gather all of them up, divide them among all of the participants, and mail you a mixed package of assorted beautiful napkins. If you're interested, please send me an email (click on 'view my complete profile' at the right, under my profile picture and then click on the email link under my picture on the next page that comes up). Once I get your email I will send you all of the details, including where to send your napkins.
