| Introduction | My name is Rebecca (Becca or Becky). I live in Salina, Kansas.... I am an art teacher with my Master’s in Education who was unable to find a teaching job after my husband’s job relocated us this past summer. So after teaching 7-12 Art for ten years I am currently trying my hand at being a full-time artist. I have always loved collage/altered art and as a self-proclaimed hoarder I realized after the move that I either needed to utilize all the junk I collected or get rid of it. My collections include mainly vintage items collected from my grandma’s attic, antique stores, thrift shops, garage sales, etc……some of the items include: vintage valentines and other ephemera, vintage toys (smalls), costume jewelry, old keys and hardware, antique silverware, paper dolls, children’s books, vintage fabrics, old yardsticks-- measuring tapes and rulers, buttons, ribbons, lace…you name it, I collect it!! I also have an extreme obsession with dolls----I love, love, love dolls and collect them as well!! So I decided to combine my love of dolls and my love for vintage items and the result is my series called “The Dollhouse Diaries”. |
