Collage: 2

A while back, I experimented with collages and wrote a post about it here. Oh what fun it was!

My dear bloggy friend Linda at Croneandbearit decided to have some fun and play with it a bit. She posted about it here. And she talked about how much fun she had doing it here.


I swear. Playing with Modpodge is a whole lot of fun! If you haven't tried it, you are missing out on tons of fun!


The piece I posted today was created by Linda. Isn't it super cool? And how adorable is Emma Lou?


Thank you so much Linda for sharing this with us! May many more modpodge projects entertain us!

Collage

Yes I know it is not very pretty or artistic. But this was my first attempt at creating a collage. So I really did not know what the impact of my actions would be. Next time, I'll know better.

As much as I dislike displaying my "bad/cheesy art" on my blog, I am writing this post for numerous bloggy friends.

For Mythos. He has bugged inspired me to create a collage forever. He create beautiful collages for me and we have collaborated on numerous projects. I will never ever be able to repay him for what he has done for me.

For Janice of Postcards from Wildwood. She is an uber talented lady and has an unquenchable thirst for art. She loves to learn and teach and share. She is the reason I participated in the Pay it Forward project. Let's just ignore the fact that I haven't mailed out my gifts yet shall we? I have them ready but they just don't seem good enough. After all, I received this and this.

For Linda at Croneandbearit. The lady is crazy. Crazy, crazy, crazy. I know that she will take this as a compliment. She articulates what I am thinking brilliantly. She is hilarious. I am a crazy fan of hers. She also volunteered to participate in the Pay it Forward project. I am hoping this help her.

So here we go:

Materials:

• Canvas. I like to buy mine at a craft store already framed.
• Paper. Anything will do. Magazines. Hand made paper, gift wraps etc.
• ModPodge. Available at art stores. I guess you can substitute it with glue or a collage glue if you cannot find this. 
• Foam brush.
• Acrylic paint and paint brushes (optional)

Instructions

1. Visualize what you want it to look like and select the paper. I kinda skipped this step as you can tell.
2. Tear up pieces of the paper or cut them.
3. Use the foam brush, stick the paper on it using ModPodge. Apply another layer of Modpodge on it.
4. Paint some shapes on it.

If you want to see some collages from true artists rather than a faux artist like me, visit Amy Silvey's site. She is the one who shared her knowledge about this with me.

Hope you have a fabulous weekend and indulge in creativity today.
