in your pretty little bed

Today, I’m very excited to share with you all a taste of my poetry and collage art. I’ve been wanting to post some creative writing for awhile now, but haven’t felt inspired in forever and didn’t want to force anything. As for the art portion, I frequently use Photoshop and Polyvore out of convenience for product compilations, but whenever I feel truly motivated I sit down and create things by hand.

I wrote the poem last week, and finally found time yesterday to make a collage based off of it. With basic themes and ideas in mind, I went to work sifting through magazine tears, three-dimensional embellishments, and instant photos that I’d taken to ensure a really unique composition. It definitely didn’t turn out the way I thought it would (and I’m not sure it fits the poem perfectly) but I still like it strangely enough. I hope to expand on this writing-inspired mixed media art in the near future, so…

Let me know what you all think, I’d love to hear thoughts, feelings, et cetera. :)
