I’m sharing three collages today as part of an ongoing collage project following the prompts in The Collage Workbook by Randel Plowman. Here is my collage for prompt no. 18 – tissue paper…

This is a brightly coloured collage aptly named “Indian Summer”. Numerous scraps of tissue paper have been worked into this collage, of different colours, along with some dried flowers and a scrap of crocheted cotton…

Above we have promt no 19 – cardboard. I used a strip of cardboard from a box that something was delivered in. I painted it with Titanium White acrylic paint, left it to dry and then went over it with some acrylic craft paint called “Avocado”. I stuck it down the left side of my collage and it complements the other collage elements nicely…

Here we have prompt no. 20 – maps. I tore up sections of three different maps and used them for the base of my collage. Then I used tea bag papers and fabrics scraps to collage over the top of the maps.
All three collages measure 20 cm x 20 cm. I have now also glued all my collages into a new A4 sketchbook and I have to say it’s nice to flip through the pages and see all the different collages I’ve created so far. Collages are a fun, no pressure way to create art…
