Collages

Well September has always been the time for me for a restart. The beginning of the new school year. Lovely Autumn mornings , and the sense that anything is possible.

Well as I am still to finished my intermediate C&G felting course, i have had no sense of that new beginning this year. I really don't have much to do to finished the course yet somehow it seems very hard to finished it all off. I can find lots of others things to do instead . Dying , stitching , making jewelry.

My stumbling block with the course is some collage work that I started months ago. I needed an image with a background , mid ground and foreground to make a series of collages. Just one image you understand. I could find three images and I played around switching between them without finishing any thing, I also needed to scan photos into photoshop and manipulate them . I have done that with all my half finished work and made some crazy images of which this is one example.

So this week , in the spirit of the new year , I decided I had to just focus , on one image and complete three different collages.

Here is my rather rocky image.

 

Half finished found objects collage.

Now completed with some old table runner rocks, stitched and printed with acrylic piant. Looking very strange I think.

Half finished low relief collage.

Now completed with some paper sea , sand and rocks.

I had no textile collage in this theme . So I have made one, covered it with Gesso and so now just have some printing and painting to do. Tomorrow's job.

Finally I feel as if I can move on. But what I am going to do with these collage masterpieces I have no idea.
