….to lesson two
Here’s the last random collage from lesson one that I just finished. I may go back later and do a couple more but for now I’m satisfied with what I’ve accomplished and I am anxious the try my hand at ‘moon papers’. Don’t worry if you don’t know what that is. I’ll explain in the next post.
For this collage I started with the tree trunk. After much searching I found the illustration of the girl meditating and it went from there. I decided to try my hand at adding lines of stitching. I picked up this idea from Jill Kuhn who is also doing the class, 2019: A Year of Collage. Jill is a wonderful source of inspiration and constantly praises what I do. Thank you Jill.

It’s the least I could do Jill and I did get the idea from you. Thanks again.

I love the stitching too. Is it literally stitching? … as in, how did you do that?!

It is stitching. I did it on the sewing machine. I asked Jill how she did hers in her sketchbook and she said said she just pushed it through. I wanted to make loops and curves so I took the page out of my sketchbook before stitching and then I glued it back in on the back of a page where the marker had bled through. Easy peasy.

That is really a cool idea. Maybe I shouldn’t sell my sewing machine after all 😉

As soon as you get rid of it you’ll find a use for it. Isn’t that always the way?
