A Sticky Subject

It's been too long between collages. I've had a busy start to the year with Tinniegirl which is wonderful but it has kept me out of the studio and away from my paints and glue. Every now and then I remember my true love - sitting with paint brush in hand and canvas before me.

I haven't been completely ignoring the paints though. I've just been forgetting to share.

During Blogtoberfest I did a giveaway. The winners chose a word and I created a collage for them. I made the one above for Erin at Fossil Compass. Her word was 'forest'. This is one of my very favourite collages. It feels grown up and abstract and I was so completely happy with the way it turned out. Don't you love it when that happens?

Libby from A Round Tuit chose the word 'wisdom' and I made the piece below for her. Again, I was really happy with the end result and the way I interpreted her theme.


I loved working this way. It was challenging and stretching to take another person's idea and create something from it.

Often in collages words are at the heart of what I do. There is something so evocative about words. To me they add so much depth to a piece of art. They can make you think, or leave you wondering, comfort, startle or please. How I love words.
