It’s collage time! Welcome to weeks 10 and 11 of the collage project I’m doing with my sister, Carolyn, following the prompts in The Collage Workbook by Randel Plowman.
The week 10 prompt is Decollage. We had to glue down lots of layers of paper and then when the glue is nearly dry rip the top layers of papers away to reveal what’s underneath. Here’s what I did:
I used soft pastel coloured papers and also added some dried pressed flowers – a little hint of spring….
The week 11 prompt is numbers – create a collage with numbers as the focus. Here’s my offering:
A vintage blue collage with a spring twist with the added dried pressed flowers. And of course the numbers were included and I used vintage ephemera for that. Some erosion bundle papers went into this collage as well….
I had fun creating these collages. Next weeks theme is typography – something a little different for me. Looking forward to it…. !
They do look like fun and the only way to get that effect.
Thank you Sandy – they were lots of fun to do!
Marvellous Evelyn. I love the use of the vintage ephemera. I have a box of my parents’ that I need to now hunt through 🙂
