I've been really enjoying the "Cabinet of Curiosities" theme this month at the Sketchbook Challenge blog. I decided to pull some images from my huge stash of collage sheets and ephemera and make some cabinets. This is the first one I made - it seems a little dull/dark to me, so I'm working on another larger one with more adventurous colors. I took the butterfly and face photos at the Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. The black and gold images came in a "happy mail" package from my friend Karen of Random Reflections. The antlered woman came from a fashion magazine and I think the weird anatomy is from a Stampington publication maybe. I think the antlered fashion model is my favorite curiosity. What's yours?

Yes, I like the antlered woman, too - but I'm also fascinated by the divided faces :) Lovely piece, Rinda!
Some images are shocking and scary thing, the set is at least surprising. Saludos
Enthusiastic collage of items. Wish I could visit San Francisco Academy of Sciences.
I do like the antlered fashion model as well, but I also very much like the gold and black images. Wonderful cabinet of curiosities, Rinda - love it.

What a great project and way to use that ephemera that seems to always be around. Beautiful composition and balance. Happy PPF!
I can see these collages becoming very addictive. Finally! A use for all those things too strange and wonderful to throw away
I like the deep blue cabinet colour - lovely.
So many great images - my favorite is the face made of 4 faces!
I really like the face collages
i love collage for this very reason -- it pulls together parts from different places and times and gives them a commonality. great piece!

Love the detail in the cabinet - it makes you want to spend time looking in at each "window"
