Billie Holiday and Collage

I recently bought 'The Best of Billie Holiday' and i can't stop listening! With 50 songs, its a good playlist to work to and that's just what i have been doing. I've liked Billie Holiday for a while, with my favourite song being 'Stormy Weather' but all 50 of the songs are really good as background music to get my work done, so I've been feeling rather productive by creating lots of collages using my stored up materials that I've wanted to put to use for ages. I started researching into ephemera and vintage printed imagery, looking on Flickr and Etsy. I really would like to start my own collection of printed ephemera and i can see myself become more and more interested towards the print side of things. I can't wait to start letterpress workshops and using the print rooms when i get back to university. Ive also become really interested in collage and materials over summer, I've been keeping an eye out for any particularly nice pieces of typography or paper to store and use when i get the right personal project or brief!
