For a few months now I have been joining a group of people via Zoom for Sunday Art Time. They live on the other side of the world to me and I didn’t know any of them when this started. That hasn’t stopped us getting together for an hour each week just to chat and make art.
Working with collage and simple book forms let’s me make work that can be finished in one or two sessions. I like the ability to make a work quickly, given most of my serious textile work takes ages to complete.
I have also found some good ideas from the broader reaches of the “junk journaling ” movement, such as cutting up large print books for useful phrases.
These mini-zines and collages give rein to the less formal (aka sillier) side of my art and has given me a lot of enjoyment in these grim times.
You can find some other examples on my collage|books|zines page.

Mash ups have so much potential! I was quite intrigued by the “tied to a sturdy stake” until you explained that it was to with roses! ha!

It’s funny how once your mind is in that frame you see all sorts of things. The post title “tall weepers” also comes from the rose catalogue.

I like the adventure penguins! And the cut up phrase work reminds me of my poetry Snippets. Which are a lot of fun to do. There is something about repurposed words…

I am definitely enjoying the word play.
