Collage Kickstart Live Day 8: Image Transfers My Way Since the lesson involved transferring later-printed images and I don’t have a laser printer, I had to come up with my own method. I decided to just stamp images on tissue paper using my ink pads, since once glued down with matte medium, the tissue will disappear. We’ll see if I’m right about that when I actually make my collages. 

  Collage Kickstart Live Day 7: Fodder Forever Part 2 Ta  da! The warm color palette pieces (tons of them). I love how the close-up photos highlight the textures. The ghost prints are some of my favorites. Just looking at these photos warms me up on this icy winter day. I can hear sleet tickling the window panes.  Bubble papers, cling wrap, and tar gel oddities Just circles Love this paint off-load sheet Texture paste and metallic paint

  Collage Kickstart Live Day 7: FODDER FOREVER Part 1 I have created enough fodder to last my lifetime (and for the lucky person who buys them in the estate sale after I have departed my wonderful artistic life). I am only posting the cool color palette prints; I’ll post the warms in a follow-up. At first I couldn’t bring myself to spray lots of water over my pieces, but now I totally see the beauty in a watery ghost print. I had such fun with found objects, stencils, and my gel plate. Even the paint discharge deli papers are collage-worthy .

 Collage Kickstart Live Day 6: Balloons & Baggies Stamping with acrylic, paper, and balloons was only a minor success for me, and I’m not sure exactly why. Definitely, the under inflated balloons worked better than the bigger ones. Maybe someday, I’ll try again.  Taking some close-up photos helped to get an idea of pieces that might be collage-worthy .  The baggie technique was probably my favorite. To honor my feline, I filled the bag with cat litter. I spent all day playing with paint. Again, some close-up photos helped to get an idea of pieces that might be collage-worthy.  .
