Just wanted to share with you something I'm working on. I actually haven't done much art lately other than what I've created in my drawing class. I have lots of stuff going on in my head though so hopefully this weekend, I can do something.
These last few weeks in my drawing class have been collage. Hello? Color me happy!!! AND I'm getting college credit for this! This past Saturday was "do anything you want" day. So using this image:
Here's what I'm working on. It looks better if you squint your eyes or view it from a distance. The material I'm using is a old dictionary that I picked up at a garage sale for .25 cents! I'll share a shot of this when it's finished. I'm enjoying how it's turning out AND believe it or not, I'm enjoying how utterly tedious this is. SO meditative! :-)
Michelle!!!! OMG, this is an awesome LO/Collage!!! I really have some talented blog buddies!!!

This is unbelievable. Makes me want to do it. Looks like so much fun and I can see how the tediousness of it could be relaxing. Works for me.

Wow! Great collage! What are you using to adhere all those little bits? I know what you mean about the meditative tedium---sometimes it's so nice to just relax that brain & do semi-mindless things like gluing bits of paper into fun shapes! That's why I enjoyed doing colored pencil paintings for a while---they're sooooooo slow, but in a relaxing meditative way :) (also why I like to work for my hubby pulling vinyl bits away from letters in his sign shop :)...)
