Wishing you a happy springtime!

Quote collage

We must live in the joy of discovery and shout out the beauty as well as the pain of this human/natural experience.

Quote from yahoo group

6"x8"

I loved this quote and decided to try an interpretation by doing this collage.

Magazine collage continued!

I used 4 pages from Victoria magazine and cut and pasted on cardboard with golden liquid medium. I added my own flowers with golden liquid acrylics, caran d'arch WC crayons , and flower at top I had in my dried flower stash. I tried to lighten some areas where I thought more light would be from the lanterns to try and make it glow!

I think it's done!

Finished collage !

More Magazine collage art!

Part 2, added paint, gesso, colored pencil!
Using old Victoria magazine pages!

Budding artist!!!!

I have a young friend who is an accomplished painter. Her daughter seems to be headed in the same direction!

Mac lesson # 4!

Phone booth! Who knew my mac had a camera? Not me! And lots of effects to try. This is called "comic book", perfect for me!

Magazine technique/part 1!

I belong to a group which explores different techniques each month for designing papers. This month we are to start with tearing magazine pages and glue them to heavyweight WC paper with fluid gel medium. I have saved my Victoria magazines from the beginning. These 2 collages were done from 4 different 1997 issues. I will be adding to these 8"x10" papers when I do the next step. 

Stayed tuned!
