Frances' Daily Collage

May 25, 2012

 

Campion's Aunt Della must have been quite a woman. Here, she is
pictured on the right with her sister-in-law, both of them holding baby Bengal
Tigers. This was California somewhere around 1908. In the mysteries
of genetics, Aunt Della's face has shadows of Campion's. Because they were
so far apart in age, they never met. Now we are celebrating her.

 

This is a scanned image enhanced with water color pencils. Used tea
bag paper was collaged on top along with Washi Tape seals and botanical
images.

More of my Flora Cupriferous quilt images were used as a start for this
collage. Washi Tape floral images, bubbles, stripes and polka dots are
added along with a silver pen for detail.

I bought a cube of Himala Salt last week. It comes with a little
grater so that you can grate the pretty pink salt right onto your food. It
is really pretty and so are their graphics. I moved the packaging around
and added a scan of large salt crystals. The houndstooth tape just makes
it fun.

Layers of floral paper napkin, tissue paper images and frog stamps were the
start of this collage. The vintage calling card said Maggie Quarry. 
We have to wonder who Maggie Quarry was, how she lived and what she would think
if, alive today, she found her card had made it to
cyberspace.

I love multi-media.  This piece started as a large postcard.  Layers of organza ribbon are glued down with layers of tissue paper above it.  Stickers and sticker waste are at the top layer along with Washi Tape.

Land O Lakes Butter. Something we all remember, a constant at the grocery store. I used the package and a scanned image of our maiden and a red floral from a vintage postcard.

Layers. I love the lower strata showing at the top surface. The scan from Marvie and BIll's postcard is at the bottom layer. Drawings, stickers, Washi Tape and floral paper napkins are all added to give depth. If you are trying to read my address, the zip code is 05146.

Newspaper and art papers from Korea. My eternal love for Hello Kitty
and some Washi Tape.

I painted in all the spaces on this antique pattern from Peterson's
Magazine. The background lines are black colored pencil and the frame
is Orange Washi Tape.

The tiny petals that were embedded in the handmade paper gave me a start
for painting in full flowers around them. Water color pencil scrolls, the
petals and leaves were sketched in and then wet to release the paint. The
striped polka dots are Washi Tape on tag board, cut into circles. Felt
marker black dots were added and then the entire collage was framed with three
layers of Washi Tape.
