Working On Collages

Now that the 'painting' year is over for the moment, I am working on collages for the 14th International Collage Exchange .  I was delighted to be included in last year's exchange, so signed up again.  Of course, while I'm on a roll, I will do more than the required baker's dozen and keep them for exhibition.  Might even sell them, if I'm lucky.

Here are a few of the first ones...

Empress
Painted paper, handmade paper, wooden fan blade, doily.


Jewel Of The Orient
Found, handmade, and painted papers, bottletop, glass bead.


Brainwaves
Watercolour and handmade papers, cutout, inkjet transparency, acrylics, silver joss paper, calculator circuit.

For other collagists out there... why not consider joining the Exchange this year?

    Very inspiring creations, Jo, and all three so different. I think my bfavorite is the "Jewel of the Orient", but the others are beautiful, too. Hope you'll sell!

    Each so different, each so cool. They look fairly small which is a great idea - small for bigger impact! Happy New Year.
