“Strip Ease’ Collage
This is the collage I made for Michelle Ward’s Green Pepper Press monthly crusade . Go here to read about it: http://www.michelleward.typepad.com/how_cool_is_that/ This is the second crusade I have entered. They are open to anyone and you can enter until the end of the month if you’d like to make a collage. I used an assortment of painted papers and magazine strips. I had a background painted in my experimental journal just waiting. I thought it needed something else but rather than taking a risk at hiding the effects of the strips, I decided to leave it as is.
Mary – interesting collage of strips. I keep seeing new things in it. I didn’t even see the portion of the man at first. I love how this has your painted bits and magazine bits. I scrolled down through your site and saw alot of really wonderful work. I spy that the swap pieces you made for your friend Joyce (the top one) also has some great stripping
Thanks for participating!
Love your strip-collage ! Lots to see, lot of different details. About Totally Tangled, yes, I like the book, lot of tangles and how they can be used, I just recently started Zentangles and need some patterns to get a jump start
Cool collage! I agree with Michelle….there’s lots to see in this piece. I love the doodles, and your painted papers are great. Mine never look as good. What’s your secret???
Turned out great! I’m thinking about making one as well:)
This is very cool! My favorite part is the woman on the right.
A great collage, Mary; the strips work so well and there are so many details to look at!
This is a great collage, love the lady looking for something, then I noticed the man on the other side. Great idea.
Sometimes the strips hold there own like this and other times, they’re subtle backgrounds. It’s all good. (btw, that man is perhaps a ‘mere’ background?
)
Nice to meet you too! Great work with those strips here! Very strong and powerful! I think it was good that you kept the strips as they where – otherwise the whole effect would have gone. Very nice!
I love the casual look to this piece, with coordinated color and depth!
I really like the combination of painted papers and glossy magazine pages. For some reason, the leaf especially grabs my eye; it has such a strong graphic quality about it.
Wow! fabulous stuff!
I like your pages very much, the colors and images. Your doodling is great. I looked through your blog a little, great stuff. Thanks for your comment on my blog, by the way.
Love the strip collages.
Good work!! I like that you didn’t cover up your painted background! I took some time and perused your blog and must say your Art is WONDERFUL. You got some skills and great color combos!! xoSusan
