scottneff asked: I love that you share with us some of the rich history of collage; thank you! I am lucky to have viewed museum exhibits by amazing historic collage artists which has given me lasting inspiration. Where do you find the wonderful older collages you post on your site?

Thanks so much Scott, I too count myself lucky to have seen some of the orignal work I post. A fair amount of the work I find by trawling through gallery sites, both the Tate Modern and MoMA have impressive collage collections which I regularly use.
