Ok here we go. This better count as a collage! Lots of tape and paper in the back, some doodling around the frame, a butterfly from the Body Restoration class, some more little doodads and the message. That’s it for this page. It says “Everything Changes. Let go of the need to control and just enjoy life.”

I’ll try to do another one with better resolution and contrast at some point.

My attempt at being more collage-y. I added some paper on the background. The wings, the girl, some rubons, gold letters, and gold and white paint. A simple page but I do like it.

more next week. maybe then I can get even more collage-y.

During Saturday’s sketching I taped myself. The contrast ended up being terrible for some reason and the sketch is one of my least favorite. But if you want to see me sketch, here you go:

I had so many ideas for this page but it just wasn’t meant to be. The background is an actual map. Then I punched butterflies from the same map and glued them down. Then I tried to drip paint but it didn’t work the way I wanted to I just painted over the thing. But I’d already inked around the butterflies which is why the black ink spread a bit. I still like the way it turned out to be honest. Though not sure it qualifies as collage…

Lots of paint and random artsy papers in this one. I can’t stand the yellow paint in the middle but it is what it is. It feels a little more collage-y to me even though I know it’s still more art journal than collage.

oh well…
