:simple collage:
Here are some simple collages I’ve made recently. I’ve been doing collage for years now, and some of you will be familiar with the collaged cards I make for craft fairs. When I look back on collage I did some years back, now they look horribly cramped, crowded and over-done to me.
My cards are made with mostly vintage images from old books, maps, paper ephemera...but recently I set myself a new challenge - to work with images cut from magazines, mostly photographs and to try to make compelling images using only two layers/images.
I’m enjoying playing with the idea and trying to make odd juxtapositions that somehow end up cohesive.
