Mini Collage Number Twenty

Tear Out
vintage coupon, magazine cutouts, matboard
4 x 5 inches

Mini Collage Number Seventeen

Bargain
vinyl, coupon, magazine cutout, matboard
4 x 5 inches

Mini Collage Number Ten

First Place
random bits of left over pieces on matboard
4 x 5 inches

The idea came together quickly in my head, but this one took longer than most.

Mini Collage Number Nine

Babes, Bumpers, and Birch
magazine cut outs, ink, matboard
4 x 5 inches

I do not know if that is really birch.  Probably not.  No apologies.

Mini Collage Number Four

Arthritis in Geneva
magazine cut outs, map from travel guide, vinyl
4 x 5 inches

I peeled most of the vinyl (in the shape of a 4) off and reused the front of this little one.  Shame to waste a good map, outdated or not.

Mini Collages

I'm going to start posting my collages because I want to share and this is a way for me to keep on with it.  Basically, these are exercises, like the ones from the last post, but mini.  I went on a tear and have almost depleted my 12 x 12 inventory of unused matboard, and can't buy more from a certain hobby chain for a big discount because they don't bundle them up anymore.  But I did make a ton of little 4 x 5 letters and such that didn't sell and I happen to still have them in storage, so I'm reusing!  It's my favorite!

See more of these, or groups of them, or them in process, on my Instagram feed, because it's FREE and FUN!

I will share these in the order in which they were made.

Number One:

Watchman
cutouts from magazines dated 1950-2011
painted 1960s book page

Stay tuned for more!  We'll see what they do to my larger work as I start back on bigger scale "canvases" (wood and such) and add lots more vinyl and paint to stuff.

Here's to 2016.  Let's do this.
