I always love the vintage toys the Design Team Member Kristin Batsel uses when making artwork (or that I’ve seen glimpses of from photos of her house). Lucky for me (and you), Kristin let me raid her stash of vintage tin toys (and circus toys!) to make some new collage sheets.
I’m not much of a collector, but I do love toys, especially vintage toys. When I mentioned that to Leslie, she said she would make a collage sheet with some of my favorite toys on it if I’d supply her with photos. Heck yeah!
Bonus, she ended up making two collage sheets: one, some general toys, and two: circus themed toys. She even added a few fun toys that I now wish I owned, like the Happy Hooligan tin toy, which you can see in oval frame in the upper right corner of the photo (and close up at right). Here’s what I made with those collage sheets, plus some fun dollhouse sized frames and a wooden crate. I like to think the little (blue) boy is visiting a toy museum, filled with toys I love. These toys are so fun, they are practically bursting out of their frames!
