This week, I did my collage on an 8" x 8" wood panel. A nice piece of old ledger paper, some tickets, postage stamps, and a rubber stamp were used.

This week I did another tiny collage on scrap matte board. The board is a beige color and I used scraps  of hand made papers and vintage documents.

Janusz Stanny

I love the illustrations of Polish artist Janusz Stanny (1932-2014). I purchased this book on Ebay - it dates from 1962 and was published in Warsaw. I thought it might be poetry but I've translated a bit it's more of a nature lesson. The images are beautiful in their simplicity. I particularly like the way the fur is done on the wild boar and deer.

This week I used a bunch of scraps for my collage. I have a box of tiny scraps that are left-overs from larger pieces of paper. These always come in handy for something and I hate to waste them.

Sometimes I try to do a whole collage using only pieces from the scrap box and this week I came up with a pair. The duo is done on scrap mat board that is a pale gray. I stamped on the boards in gold and brown ink and then layered on bits and pieces in different patterns of pink. Vintage type and music make it not too sweet.
