Collage Art

I do like to have some fun with my collages...

Collage with Kantha Stitching

Love mark making onto paper and card, joined together with some stitching. 

Mixed Media Collage

More play with yellow, lots of elements, great fun to build up. Her hair is made up of Baked Textures by Seth Apter, (embossing powder), some Paperartsy Zesty Zing acrylic paints.

Mixed Media Collage.

Investigating yellow as a background within a collage. Tried to decollage, but this did tear the painted background a little. A bit more texture!!

Artist Trading Coins.

Playing with some mini collages onto some ATCoins. Very challenging with a round substrate and only 2.5 inches!!

Collage with Paint Skins!!

Having a play making some paint skins with Pebeo Vitrail and Moon paints. Incorporated within a collage!!

Rings of Life.

The current challenge over on the PaperArtsy blog this time is Vintage Neutrals.

I started off by using PaperArtsy Infusions Lemoncello and a small touch of Violet Storms onto some calico.

Some stamping with PaperArtsy Hot Picks 1501.

Originally I was going to use the piece of wood as a paperweight, but decided to wrap the calico around the wood.

I thought maybe I should have stuck to my original idea as most of the Infusions and stamping were hidden within the layers, so when I saw the question mark from the same stamp set, I stamped several times.

Added some flicks of the same Infusions with a paintbrush to add some interest to the grey board.

I am glad I pushed myself to try something different from my original idea, it reminds me of the rings that are formed within wood as they grow!!
