Antique – Vintage – Retro – Handmade Shop
This collage links to my interest in the world of vintage advertising, Pop Art and Andy Warhol
Once again I worked in layers
Starting with a base layer of distress inks, paint swatch stickers and hand painted papers, I then added vinyl tape and letters
Finally, more paint swatches with vintage stamps, stencils and ink
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.
