Collage cup & saucer

      Teacup & saucer, created from collaged vintage maps and various patterned papers
 
When I posted recently about my collection of envelopes, it reminded me about this little collage teacup & saucer I created a while ago.

The background is a photocopied sketch of one of my teacups and saucers, and I then used vintage map pages and various patterned papers to create collage details of the cup and saucer pattern.

I deliberatly left most of the saucer plain except for one flower and a couple of leaves, otherwise it would have become too busy if everything was collaged.  I also put a patterned background in behind some of the teacup and saucer to help it stand out from the white page.

I like the collage effect and it made a nice change from painting!
