Another positive seeking and creative loving guest blogger has joined PPnG and I’m thrilled.

Exploring the juxtaposition of graphic design and collage, Red Aphrodite’s designer and owner, Laura Bolster, has created her dream job in Portland, Oregon.

Red Aphrodite - a unique greeting card company (and Laura’s passion) is inspired by photos and vintage images of spirited women, Laura’s grandmother’s antique lace, and her grandfather’s sheet music.

Laura’s first foray into collage began ten years ago when she came upon a box filled with colorful photos of her many travels in Latin America.  Her ever creative mind began its churning, asking, what to do with all these lively images?  As she put her handy scissors to use, she found new life for what otherwise would have sat alone at the back of the closet.

She enjoys the process of collage and mixed media because of the spontaneity and reinvention of past images; taking an image, reusing and reshaping it fascinates her.

Committed to bringing beauty to the world through rich, eclectic, and distinctive designs, she is constantly exploring new themes and design elements.

Welcome Laura. We look forward to your posts!
