Welcome to weeks 8 and 9 of the collage project I’m doing with Carolyn, following the prompts in The Collage Workbook by Randel Plowman. The prompt for week 8 was reassemble – cut an image into approximately equal squares and rearrange them to create a new image. Here’s what I did:
This is a print of one of my own photos cut up into squares and reassembled. This is the original image:
This was quick and easy and fun to do. Next is week 9 and the prompt was squares and rectangles. We had to choose 2 or more images and cut them into squares and rectangles and then create a collage using the pieces. Here’s what I did:
This collage measures 8″ x 8″ and is created entirely from my own art work and photography except for one small square which happens to be a piece of scrapbook paper. Each square of this collage is a work of art in it’s own right! Please click on the image to view it larger to see more of the details. At the bottom section of the collage you have the yellow ochre sand with rocks, seaweed and rock pools. In the middle section you have the sea ~ a mixture of turquoise, greens, rich inky indigo and prussian blue tones. Towards the top of the collage I see a distant shoreline topped with moody grey and blue sky.
There will be more collage fun next week – thank you for visiting!
these are great – beautiful imagery, and I love how your photographs and art are completely transformed into something fresh and new with this process. xx
Thank you Tanya…. !
I love this! It’s so much fun to cut and rearrange. A new world! (and grids…what could be better? maybe circles–it’s fun to rearrange wedges too) (K)
Thank you Kerfe – cutting and rearranging is enormous fun!
Beautiful! And I have to admit you had me searching for which square might be the scrapbook paper…. LOL! Couldn’t figure out 🙂
LOL – I did wonder if anyone would spot the scrapbook paper square…. !
I love how collage takes on a whole meaning.
Thank you Sharon totally agree!
What great exercises-must try them. I like what you did.
Thank you Sandy – please do try them, it’s fun!
These are both great. I particularly like the second one and feel that visually it is really strong.
Thank you Laura….

Each of these is just lovely, Evelyn.
My favorite is the first one.

These look like a lot of fun. Really love how abstract they become ❤️
