I finished my first collage of the New Year. I worked with a variety of media including paste paper, cotton thread, metal washers, copper wire etc. I love to start my work on flat surfaces and build layers. The paste papers I used were painted with acrylic and texture was achieved by working through the pigment with tools that look like combs. After working recently on a huge applique quilt with a local artist, I decided to incorporate hand stitching on my papers. I will be exploring more of this in future pieces.
