Today I just worked on preparing black backgrounds for future collages.  Airy's mom joined us and she completed this collage.  In progress collage by Airy. On the way home, came across this rad mural.  I had extra cutouts left over from my previous collage, so I used them.  Today I just worked on organizing my collage materials and making black backgrounds, while Mark was on fire.  Mark's collage  Mark's best collage yet.  Mark's collage using my scraps.
Today we met at Atlas Cafe and had to be almost thrown out because we went so overtime. Sorry pics are so blurry.   My collage for the day  Airy's collage  Tobiah's sketch  Richie's collage Mark's collage Mark's collage Mark's collage made from my scraps.
My friend and I screwed around making paper after visiting the museum. It was really fun and I'm excited to try integrating spices into the paper.    I've been feeling especially down the last few days and glad I forced myself to attend the collage group.  I sorted a bunch of source materials today.
 My finished work for the day.  My work in progress  Another of my finished pieces for the day.  Another of my works in progress.  Airy's work in progress  Tobiah's excellent collage  Tobiah's work in progress  Tobiah's collage
I spent the session sorting though magazines and starting a new collage.   Airy's work in progress.  Our mess.
   Airy's work in progress. It struck a chord amongst cafe goers.
I bought a small circle cutter and finished this collage.  Today I sorted many pages that I've torn from two Restoration Hardware Catalogs. I also organized my reject pieces.   My finished piece.  Another one finished. The black and white sphere is leukemia.  Joe's cut pieces  Mark used my scraps from my collage and in the end, he turned it over and decided he liked the back better!
I'm excited to coordinate this group for there are some really amazing artists involved.  My collage for the day.  Tobiah's work in progress  Tobiah's finished piece  Airy's work in progress  Airy's finished piece  Mark's work  Mark's later collage I spent the entire day, ripping and organizing pages from Restoration Hardware catalogs. I now have tons more collage materials. After adding these to my previous collection, I have two whole plastic bins full.  Mark's incredible collage.  Mark's finished collage using my remnants. As I was tearing out pages, I ended up with thick bundles from the spines of the magazines. My artist friend Mark took them home and incorporated them into a collage.  Tobiah's lovely collage for the day. I started a new collage, but having a tough time placing some of the pieces together. This resulted in a bunch of separate pieces that I'll eventually use.  Today it was Joe and I, which was nice to have a smaller group for once.  Finished this collage that was started at last month's meeting.  Added the tooth to this collage to finally finish it.  Joe's work in progress. His use of patterns and color is perfect. Today I cut out a few items from anatomical books. I already like what I'm starting with.    I started to help with Airy's collage. The first picture is a work in progress by Airy. She asked my opinion, so afterwards, I went home and played around with Photoshop to show possibilities.   My proposal is formally sound, but lacks excitement.
Another day of collaging.  My work. I just need to glue it down.  Mark's work.  More of Mark's work.  Denise's work  More of Denise's work  Tobiah's work  Another view of Tobiah's work  Another artist's work. |
