Sometimes, I'll find an image that pulls me in so strongly that I have to create some type of art with it. This is what happened with the female image that you see below. I named the piece Contemplation because the lady seems so deep in thought. I wonder what she is thinking.
Do images ever call to you in the same way?
Here is a small Botanical collage that I completed today. The tomato image actually came from an old seed catalog. I used a page from a little vintage dictionary for the background paper.
When I work on a collage or mixed-media art piece, I can spend countless hours (even days) cutting, pasting, rearranging and sorting through my ephemera.
Today, I decided to create a quick collage with the scraps on my Studio table. It was fun to experiment and the exercise gave me ideas for future bigger and more involved mixed-media pieces.
Here is the little house with the Ocean View
I had this unfinished collage lying on my studio table for the past few weeks. Today, I decided to finish it up so that I could claim one artistic accomplishment for the morning.
I'm not entirely satisfied with the collage. I used clothing pattern paper for part of the background. Since the pattern paper is beige, it gave an off-color to the entire collage. I also used pink velum paper to cover the word GIRL in the collage.
But, the good news is, I leaned something from my art today. Pattern paper does not always work with other colors in a collage.
Have a Creative Day, Darlene
