Three little pigs...in a box of collages

Lately my collages have shrunk. Here's a recent small project, created in my collage workshop with John Arbuckle. It's a multi-fold collage book that fits into a small metal tin.

We made the backgrounds first, without knowing what the theme of the book would be. I found a photograph of 16 painted pigs who became the stars of my book. 

Here are the spreads. I added text from a French translation of a Tin Tin comic book.

The inside of the tin includes two more collages.

I stuck magnetic letters on the top of the tin. For the bottom, I made a magnet out of a pig postage stamp.

  2. Could you make these into wallets? That would be really cute. Especially with pigs.

    1. Thanks, John! I was happy to discover that the tin was magnetic so I could stick stuff to the outside.
