1 | The Basics:
Each collage design is a limited edition of 50. We use found, vintage, and painted papers on 12-ply maple plywood. Our collages are edition variée which means while a collage may be in an edition of 50, there are slight variations that make each collage one of a kind.

Each collage measures 10x10x.75 inches and are predrilled in the back, ready to hang.

2 | What exactly is Edition Variee?
An example is shown below. While all four orange songbirds belong to an edition of 50, they vary in color, placement, and choice of paper. Each of the 50 pieces of the same design have their own subtle variations that make them unique.

**Please note, the pieces you see in the gallery are already sold. When you purchase a collage, you will get the same design but the pattern and color may be slightly different.

3 | What materials are the collages made from?
We use recycled paper on FSC Certified-Formaldehyde-free Maple Plywood, and non-toxic adhesive.

4 | Will the collages I purchase look like the one displayed on your site?
The collage you purchase may differ slightly from the photo displayed on this website. Each collage in the edition has its own subtle variations in color, placement, and choice of paper that make them unique. Please let us know if you would like to see more images of the exact collage that will be mailed to you.

5 | Are the collages handmade? Are they originals?
YES! All the papers are carefully selected, some painted and all are cut by hand. Every collage is an original that is numbered and signed by the artist.

6 | Can I personalize my collage?
Personalization is available on any collage design for a charge of $20.00. Please let us know the name or initial you would like to add and your choice of color for the letters (optional).

7 | How do I care for my collage?
We recommend hanging the art right away (of course!). The easiest way to hang the collage is to use a simple screw in the wall. For a temporary solution, a pushpin will do.

We use non-toxic water based varnishes with a final UV coat. Please avoid direct sunlight exposure for long periods of time. For cleaning, we recommend using a clean and dry cloth. Do not rub the surface too roughly or you may cause scratches to appear or even dull the finish.

If you plan on storing your collage or packing it up, please do not put any weight on top of the surface. Save the parchment paper we provided and use it to cover the surface of the collage to prevent dents and other damage.
