The end of November marked the first Collage Creations workshop to run. We had a small group and enjoyed my home studio with the beautiful view of east vancouver - lots of light- and each participant had their own table to spread out and make a beautiful creative messes! Here's a look of what we did...
Yarn, collage papers, bicycles, horses ... no limit collage art!
We practiced gold leaf. Here's my gold leaf moon on a practice piece.
Beautiful messes of art in process. Love all the colours, textures and papers!
We made unique hand made journal covers from the white craft paper that covered our tables during the weekend and took our spills and drips.
Stained tissue papers, split ink, stamping...
Staining with india ink and acrylic inks
Our letters and lazertran project...layers of paint, old letters, gel medium, inks, and special image printed on clear lazertran paper as a focal point for the collage project.
