I ran across some of the Denise Fiedler’s newspaper cutouts featured in Vogue and had held onto the images for inspiration.   They were all fashion images: fabulous shoes, bags, etc.

Her work  has inspired a few evenings of frenzied cutouts of my own. I bought a vintage dictionary, found a pair of scissors,  ripped out some pages and before I knew it,  I was creating cutouts.

Denise Fiedler is the woman behind paste.   A new and creative take on the art of collage. A lover of books, Denise has taken vintage printed pages and incorporated them into representational images. She designs that which she connects with and moves her, which can be anything from traditional and iconic architecture to fashion to dogs to food to portraiture of people that have caught her eye and imagination. Each piece from paste is an original piece of art handmade by Denise.  Check out more of her wonderful art at www.pastesf.com

Here are a few of my own:

Thanks Denise, for your inspiration and beautiful art.
