Do-It-Yourself Art: Travel Collage


Hi! The Martha Stewart website is a labyrinth of interesting things! While clicking through I came across the idea of making a travel collage from all the interesting little bits that you collect throughout your journey. In fact, I did this in 2001 after a trip to France, Germany and Austria. It was really fun to put together = paper bits + glue stick + poster board = one of a kind! Have a great week! ~Kristine
