just tickety boo friday june 23 2017 collaborative collage working on a new mail art swap where each of us have to start a collage and then it gets sent on to my peeps to make their own additions jo was inspired by the work of armand brac and suggested we try to do something similar this is the first layer for each of mine one goes to jo and one goes to lenna for a second layer when done they send to each other for the third layer and then it comes back to me took awhile for us to get our heads wrapped around the progression lol i am looking forward to seeing what my two very talented friends come up with enjoy posted by jewels 1 comment labels collage sunday january 15 2017 30 day collage class days 1 7 signed up for randel plowman s class which has been interesting if not educational he has a different style to what i am used to feels more academic but that s okay so here is what i ve done so far day 1 diagonal it was tough getting started and i probably ruined more images than i would have liked to but finally pulled this one together day 2 childhood memory use one of the following line shape space color day 3 three elements day 4 black and white day 5 pairs day 6 analogous colours day 7 what is it i ll reveal what these are later enjoy jewels posted by jewels 1 comment labels collage saturday january 7 2017 groovy grunge outside in wow i managed to from relatively nothing to more than i thought i could manage with online classes lol not that i am complaining randel plowman s 30 day collage class started today i think is more academic than previous classes i have taken but that is a good thing will share about that later meanwhile tammy garcia s groovy grunge started over the holidays i ve managed to get two spreads done so far following the outside in activity this was the first you paint up your background start collage around the edges and then do whatever you want in the middle the quote is from teddy roosevelt words to live by when it comes to looking at other s art work for my second spread which included painting the text instead of using markers i committed to a black and white theme but with a little added colour using a technique by naomi vona sprayed the this 1941 thrifted picture with a fixative and then used posca paint markers to add some pop the next exercise is ominously called the wall lol enjoy jewels posted by jewels 1 comment labels altered book art journal collage sunday january 1 2017 mail art weather report the last 2016 mail art swap with jo and lenna was weather report and as usual totally different interpretations though sun and rain played a big part in all lol first up is what i received from jo who lives in the uk and knows my family roots back to england perfect collage and a cool envelope to go with it lenna s art is truly fab she experiments with different materials and techniques i love the texture she has created on this piece and my personal weather report on the back a close up from her envelope mine were both included in packages to my friends so no fancy envelopes i dipped into my retro collection and found these two ladies both are from ads for coffee jo s is based on one of my favorite songs i found this lovely poem by langston hughes that inspired lenna s card so that s a wrap our first mail art swap for 2017 is alphabet soup meanwhile enjoy jewels posted by jewels 4 comments labels collage mail art monday december 26 2016 journal spread a good night lots going on over the holidays in my studio some pieces taking longer than others i did manage to whip out another catalog spread this one was inspired by a book i found while cleaning up my basement getting along in russian by mario pei probably late 1950s given the current political climate i thought i should brush up on my russian just in case you can tell the book is dated by some of the common phrase provided like w here is the ashtray i should like to have for breakfast orange juice or prunes what an awful dump and of course the very useful i think i may have dysentery i think the five phrases in my piece are pretty important too lol this is the before page and the after i always try to keep a part of the original page painted background payne grey and chambry blue stamped gold paint using a tim holtz stencil dripped naphthol red light high flow acrylic and iridescent bright
