Collage Doodle

OK, I'm into doodling lately. This is a collage doodle made of small bits of images from a magazine. It's postcard-sized: 6 x 4 inches.

I'm not entirely sure that it's finished. I might use it as a background for something else. It's a little too bright, too representational right now.

Postcard Doodle

I'm branching out from my usual ACEO size to postcard size: 6 x 4 inches. Finally! I must be in some kind of spiral mood; even the ACEOs have been full of spirals.

This is Sakura Identi-Pen on paper. I love these pens. Two tips (fine and thick), they hold up really well, and don't dry out easily.

I have stacks of these things going. Not sure what I'll do with them. Might they be coming to a mailbox near you?

Work in Progress: Spring Collage

This painting is 18 x 24, on canvas. It’s going to be a spring garden scene done in acrylics and paper.

I’ve taken a photo from a calendar, coated it with lots of clear acrylic medium, let that dry, and soaked the thing until the paper peeled off. The image stuck to the acrylic, becoming transparent and flexible. I tore it into several pieces, which you can see throughout the painting – it was a spring scene in a garden with tulips and fountains.

I’ve added some scraps of handmade paper that has these great little leaves embedded in it.

This one is maybe 30% done. I have several ideas for continuing it and need to pick one and pursue it.
