Parts & Pieces

I have featured Sushipot's beautiful mixed media collages and vintage shop several times on Kickcan & Conkers. Susanna has a wonderful eye for colour and a knack for finding some of the best vintage toys, and capuring them perfectly on camera. 

I love her instant collections, including the set of tin spades above, and her latest colour-themed "parts & pieces" sets are no exception.

As suggested by Susanna, these little groupings of found objects are perfect to display in a shadowbox or use in altered art. I certainly think they'd add an unusual touch of colour to any room, as well as providing me with another beautiful image for my tumblr!

Bonjour !

Bonjour! Bonjour!

The kids are at school, my first load of washing's on the line and I've done an hour's gardening
So, a big hello from sunny South of France (Yes!, le soleil is back!)

I thought we'd get things rollin' with these little gems

You should also pay another visit to her other shop if you have time, remember?

I love her new black and white collages.

voilà mes amis, I hope you like my Kickcan & Conker-ish start to the day!

Back soon...

Sushipot

Susanna Scott sells some bright, quirky mixed media assemblage and collage work in her fab etsy store Sushipot. You'll find jewelry, ornaments, collages and wooden decorations made from all kinds of ephemera in this little treasure trove of a shop. I love her little wooden plaques made from vintage children's illustrations hand-stitched together. They would make wonderful Christmas decorations, to hang on the tree or display around the house, and would be equally as striking grouped on a nursery wall or in child's bedroom.
