Collage Exploration

Posted on February 11, 2019 | 19 Comments

I recently purchase this book from Amazon:

71D81A81-2E61-4365-9887-CF3AD7380D2C

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:

6722D865-1855-4C57-8A93-5A25723EA1D4

Each collage above has hand-stitching, can you find it?

Cheers! 🙂

    Look forward to seeing what else you do! I love the collages and the negative space around them.

      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)
