Mini Botanical Collages
PLUS - gift collages for paid subscribers are here!
Happy Collage Friday!
Today I added these little drawings to vintage stamps to make fun little mini-collage cards!
Although it’s been another busy week in the studio, I was happy to carve out some time today to play with making these extra-mini little botanical(ish) collages using a collection of my drawings on rice paper (above).
And BONUS - paid subscribers can choose 1 to take home! (Instructions at the end).
Basic Mini-Collage Steps
Create a pencil drawing on rice paper
Add optional water-soluble crayon highlights
Collage stamps onto postcards/matboard
Block out small areas of the stamp collage with gesso (as highlights)
Glue back of drawing onto each stamp piece and let dry
Brush water on water-soluble crayon highlights
Embellish/draw/paint until satisfied!
One of the best aspects of repeating a process is the infusion of creativity it necessitates. How many ways can I draw a trillium? What else can I draw? A bird? A bird skeleton? Repetition challenges the limits of imagination.
And now I want to draw more bird skeletons!
Finally - for my paying subscribers - I have a gift for you! (Continue below for your FREE mini botanical collage art - or apply the discount to any of my other mini Collages.)
Happy collaging!
