Of Sweetly Spiced Souls

When I start a collage, I never really know what it is going to look like.
I can start with an idea or a image, and suddenly the collage has taken a turn that I did not suspect. It takes on a life or a persona of it's own.
This is just what happened with this collage.

I started with a yellow mustard watercolor background and the found papers on the left. The iris is from a lino block I carved. Once this had been placed the idea of using the torn old label as a frame could not be denied.

The bridge is a wrapper of chai tea with the words,
"Of Sweetly Spiced Souls"
