52 Weeks of Collage Part 2 Week 24

Since I was posting pictures from Vietnam yesterday, my week 24 collage is a day late.

I have a show coming up this weekend (the Ojai Lavender Festival) so have been doing some small collages to sell. This tiny collage is done on canvas. The background was painted with acrylic paint and stamped leaves. The floral urn is letterpress-printed and hand colored. I added star tissue paper and a Paris postmark.

Nasturtiums

My collage for week 51 isn't very wintery but it will cheer you up on a blustery day. I've collaged a vintage nasturtium seed pack onto a Reader's Digest book cover. Orange decorative paper and rubber stamps are layered with the seed pack and a bit of an old gardening book. Apparently, not only are nasturtiums easy to grow but you can also pickle the seed pod! Who knew.

In the Pink

My collage for week 17 started off with the urn of flowers - a scrap of my letterpress that is hand colored with watercolors. I found a piece of ikat patterned handmade paper in shades of pink and combined it with a piece of vintage wallpaper also done in shades of pink with gray and gold. Some rubber stamping in gold and another scrap of pink paper complete the collage. This one is done on a 5" square canvas.
