Torn Paper CollageI have developed a unique form of torn paper collage , gluing papers that I color with watercolor to white paper and tearing them into shapes to create subject matter. I often add details with more watercolor and often include copy in my designs using rubber stamp alphabets. Some designs may be seen by typing Nancy Overton Posters into Google or going to my website www.nancyovertondesign.com.Paper Mache BirdsAfter joining Cornell Lab's Back Yard Bird Watch, I began making paper mache birds and mounting them on driftwood. I have learned many new bird names and shapes and have made over 300 likenesses."A Checklist/ Making a Family Plan for Emergencies"After taking emergency preparedness courses and reading many books on disaster readiness, I was overwhelmed by information and the number of things that I needed to do to prepare my home and family for an emergency. I couldn't find a logical approach to beginning the process. Using my experience in writing step-by-step craft instructions, I developed "A Checklist". "A Checklist" not only guides you through the necessary steps of preparedness, but describes the premise behind the steps. Shopping lists are easy to tear from the book and take to the store. Emergency forms are included. Find the book at preparedness101.com or on Amazon
