During the recent Blogsociety event, Sally, Suzanne and I
were chatting how we hardly find time to work on personal projects or to just
create, experiment and play with our crafty tools – no restrictions, no boundaries
– just inspiration!
…and so an idea was planned and a little collaboration
discussed!!
Sally put together a colour story on her blog ( you can see it here ) and this was a
prompt for me to create something - she did warn me that Id find the colours a little
tricky since she knows I love soft, muted tones.
I started...and stopped - stuck! Suzanne suggested I was thinking about it too much and she was right so I then delved into my box of vintage papers and set out to create a collage.
Inspired by Randel Plowman and his wonderful wonderful book 'The Collage Workbook', I used one of his techniques and this is what I made...
What do you think? too safe?
too boring? too weird looking? ...its funny that it still has a soft tones even though the chosen colours are quite bright?...anyway it was fun to play with paper!
Suzanne - you're next!!!
they're beautiful, I really like how you've used the colours
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours and I like how the lines from the piano key notes are sort of carried through by the latitude and longitude of the map. I might have to try a collage for one of my turns. I'll think about that.
ReplyDeleteYaaay!!!
ReplyDeleteWell done Anastasia - I knew I was challenging you with those colours, but it's all part of the game I think!!
Your collages are lovely. I just bought that same book too, When it's back to my turn I may see if it inspires me to also create a collage. Who knows?!
Now I'm looking forward to seeing where your work leads Suzanne!
