My first practical day of the “30 Days of Collage” by Stephanie Levy course.
It was Melbourne Cup Day so this was an excuse for me to grab a (naughty snack attack) stash to help me along with my artplay day. I gathered all my paints , crayons, salt, tapes and began.
The first lot of images are the process using, paint with salt, glue , tape, pastel and more…The second lot of images are the finished result.
What a fun way to get a big bunch of gorgeous papers together for creating collage and books !
and a few more papers felt pen, masking tape and water.
Thanks Stephanie!
Many years I have collected wallpapers from all over the world. My favourite Australian designer would have to be Florence Broadhurst
Her designs are bold, abstract, wild, organic, colourful, patterned, textured,sophisticated and just beautiful.
Florence Broadhurst was exotic, eccentric, flamboyant, enigmatic, opportunistic, pioneering: all this and more.

French Mixed – Media Collage. La Chaise Asnieres Series
“La Chaise Asnieres Series”
Original French mixed – media art collage. I created the collages from hand- pulled screen prints of my original sketches, vintage wallpaper layers with vintage doily scrap, acrylic paints and decorative stitching with cotton threads on 180 gsm watercolour paper. Backed with vintage wallpapers.
Inspiration
The scene is looking out my window from my studio in Paris and a French chair.
