Random collage

Last night we had another session with our friends online and I made one of my random collages. There’s no rhyme or reason to how I put these things together.

A magazine collaging itself! A composite image from a series of pages where I have already cut things out.

I’m working from scraps of magazines that have already been cutting up and that are literally lying around on my desk. So nothing particularly planned.  Just trying to work with what I have, and trying to make it succeed.

My one hour collage.

Whether that’s happened on not I don’t know. I think just even doing this on a regular basis is the sort of thing that’s exercising those artistic muscles,  playing, which is what we all need to do to make our art better.

Just because

I am currently working through some fairly tedious passages of mark making on one of my pieces, so yesterday I decided to give myself a break and have a play.

Stitching on a piece of bubble-wrap envelope presented itself. Apart from using different colours of thread, the other change I made between the two pieces was to have one that was stitched in a fairly regular pattern and one which was stitched as randomly as I could manage.

The ‘front’
The ‘back’, here is where the differences reveal themselves.
