I recently purchase this book from Amazon:
It has some fabulous ideas that have sparked my imagination!
Such as this collage exploration:
It was inspired by the recent “winter storm” we got over the weekend!Yesterday, I did some organizing of my art supplies. It inspired me to create these three collages that I glued in my art journal:
Each collage above has hand-stitching, can you find it?
Cheers! 🙂
The cover alone of that book sparks imagination!

Thanks Beverly for pointing out the negative space around them. I had not thought to look at that. 😉 I loved doing these as separate collages and then adding them to my art journal. Something I hope to explore more. 👍

Time to get my sewing machine out again. Years ago before I started drawing and painting I created textile art. I need to get back to some of that again.

Hi Carol, I like how this book combines both. It is something fun to explore. I even added some of the contact tape textures to these collages. 😊
I look forward to seeing what you create! 🎨😍

Excellent collages. Just the act of layering is so meditative. (K)

I agree, Kerfe! 😍 Thank you!
I kept thinking, I bet Kerfe could create a poem from these… but I ran out of time to create one myself. 💗
