Collage

I wasn’t new to the process of collage, but the class project was the first time that I have done collage with images that I did not create myself. And to further the challenge, only using images of the word that we were given, in my case, eyes. I found the process challenging, but enjoyable. The types of collage that I have done in the past are using papers that I have painted and stamped, and cutting or tearing them into shapes to create the collage. I further paint, draw, and collage on the canvas to create the picture. I like working in layers, and using recycled or handmade papers to make my collage. I also do a form of “fabric collage” which is basically the same concept, except for using fabric instead of paper. Sometimes I have a design plan in mind, other times I cut shapes at random and arrange them into a composition. (Add some quilting lines to them, and they are really fun!)
