two collages

Temple above. Housekeeper's shield below. Temple is to go to the museum. Shield is for sale.

Collage Exchange

Been working on collages for the collage exchange. The threads you see are glittery things used to tie flies. I have modified the glaring colors a bit since I posted the photo below but you can't see that very well in the photos.

Earlier version.
Another collage almost done. Maybe I should gesso over the two very white spots added later. The rest of the central collage is muted with gesso.

Have 6 in process. Two which I don't like at all. Two I feel so so about. Two I like pretty well. The first above is pretty well. The second so so. I have to make 13. It seems a tedious thing right now for whatever reason. Maybe it's the idea of conforming to the size (no larger than 8x10) and other rules such as no addition of natural material such as leaves due to New Zealand laws. I often add leaves, moss so that's out. Plus most of my juicy collage materials are in the storage unit. Complain complain. Well onward.
