Collages: Fabric, Painted Paper Scraps

The little Bits and Pieces

journal is filling up.

Cover collage shown above.

Two collages in the Bits and Pieces journal,

(above and below) using painted papers

and scraps. I drew a 'wonky' bit of

pen border around the collages.

Below, Smash book pages.

The Smash book products seem to be

an outgrowth from the scrapbooking industry,

with a little more randomness. Basically 

I just use it as an art journal, enjoying the

spiral bound cardstock pages.

If I like the background provided, I 

incorporate it into the page. If not,

I just cover it up.

These two pages also are scraps of stuff

I've saved as "too good to throw away."

The fashion drawing came from notes

that I carried around in my purse until it was

full, then it became collage fodder.

Notes to myself, sketches from Christmas projects,

scrapbook papers and stickers, patterned tape,

a pocket made from an envelope.

The flap of the pocket open and the

loose leaf notes partially shown.

I still need to finish the bit of collage

on the inside of the pocket flap.

The sketch shown was for a fabric collage

that I made for gifts in 2010, and I've 

noticed that the image has turned up

on Pinterest. You can see the post here.

Tag, you're it!
