….I’m loving this technique
I think I should come up with something other than flowers for the next collage but the the pieces I’ve already cut up will probably determine where I go from here.

Abstract Floral Collage
….the first collage using the moon papers
After cutting up some of the printed transparency film I started to arrange the shapes onto one of the papers that I thought would make a nice background. Before gluing the pieces down I took a photo so that I would know what order and where to glue the pieces when I was reassembling the abstract still life.
Once all the pieces where glued in place I started to add some detail with white, black, gold and green gel. I think it helped bring some life into the piece.
Friendly Friday – Coral-ish Colours
….thanks to Snow for hosting this week’s Friendly Friday
I guess ‘coral-ish’ is any colour in the orange family.
Another Fishy Friday
….”wow, he has big eyes!”
A Photo a Week Challenge – Contrasting Colours
….thanks to Nancy Merrill for hosting A Photo a Week Challenge
Contrasting colours or complementary colours are opposite each other on the colour wheel. They are often used in costumes and uniforms because together the colours really stand out. The following are examples of complementary colours: purple and yellow, red and green and orange and blue.
It’s a Family Affair
….of the feathery kind
Kevin named this drawing Mommy Bird, Daddy Bird and Winnie Bird. Our granddaughter loved this drawing and her comments were:
“Little Winnie owl……awww!”
“She’s so cutie.”
“Is it a Choo Choo Squirrel?”
…..a what????
I find it fascinating what goes through the mind of a three year old. This drawing was meant to be a cat but I guess if you look at the background as being a tail it could be a squirrel. Where the ‘Choo, Choo’ comes in is beyond me.
There are days when I feel just like this ‘cat’; confused and bewildered by the state of the world.
It’s Monster Monday!
….love this colourful addition to my husband’s collection of Monday monsters
Collage Grid #1
….the first assignment from Carla Sonheim’s Year of Collage
After dividing a page in my sketchbook into equal squares I took a handful of small bits of paper from magazines and my own art papers and thoughtfully placed them on the grid. Here is my finished piece.
The second part of this assignment is to take eight pages in my sketch book and glue one medium sized piece of paper on each page. Then we’re so suppose to go back and add some line and/or another piece of paper. We keep doing this to all eight pages until we feel we’re done. It’s okay to skip some pages and come back later. This is proving to be more challenging for me.
Introducing Me Through Collage
….my introductory assignment for my year long Collage class
Before we start our course we are suppose to create a collage with our name. Here is my assignment completed. I’ve also incorporated some mixed media as well to make it more interesting. I took some tips from my other class, Abstract Mixed Media, by Karin Husty.
