I cut long triangles of foamcore (different sizes and shapes), then stamped images of texts and tiny pictures onto tissue paper, tore it and glued the papers over the shapes. Added tiny glass beads and ephemera to them here and there, drilled a small hole at narrow end for threading. Varnished/sealed with modpog or any clear varnish. Added to a chain with jump rings.

Terri, your ideas with poly clay and mixed media are wonderful. You have motivated me to try some collage in some of my leather designs. Thank you so much for sharing. I also am now following your FB page.

What wonderful work, Terri. Every fragment is arresting. I love the textures and sculptural qualities of your pieces, the way you worked over your found materials, and the way you integrated collage with your own clay technique. I love collage too, and recently wondered for the first time if collage could be a jewelry technique. Well, you have answered that question! My favorite of your pieces is the necklace on top. It looks like it belongs in a museum.
