August 22, 2008 Whimsical Collages

"Beautiful" Another in my second series of collages - these are whimsical, they are not what you might expect and sometimes require a second look. This collage measures 5" x 7", postcard format, and is created with founds papers mounted on 120# watercolor paper. This was an exercise in putting together unusual combinations - to make it whimsical. I changed not only faces but sometimes facial features. I was limited by my choice of papers I could use - there was no perusing through the magazines - I had to use the collection of found papers in front of me,
