Jewelry Creatures




Amo started her collages with these jewelry creatures last summer. She had been drawing pictures for months, so she wanted to do something different.

collages


Amo (Vera Meyer Ricard) was born on June 1st, 1918

Creativity has always been a big part of her life.

Before World War II she attended the “Nieuwe Kunstschool” in Amsterdam, Holland. 

From when she was a little girl till now she has been drawing, making tapestries and other things.

When she got older her eyesight became very bad.

At the moment she keeps herself busy with collages that she makes from the many catalogs that she receives.

Enjoy!




These collages make themselves...
"I never plan what I am going to make. It depends on the picture in the catalog.  I always start out with what would be good for a face and the collage grows from there"
