Day 4 – Storyteller Tree
November 4th, 2007
I'll have to measure this one later. Not sure on the size, but it's collage and some acrylic paint on watercolor paper. It was fun putting this collage together and so much more satisfying than my attempt at working in wax today which bascially turned into a big ball of mud. Not pretty. lol...
O.k., off to watch "Family Guy."

No THIS is the kind of collage that I like! I love the repeat of the circles and it just flows very nicely and looks interesting. Love the tree especially

I really like the symmetry and clean lines of this one. It has that “clear-headed” feeling about it. The “Not always easy to achieve, but you’re happy once you get there” vibe, if you know what I mean. (Which I hope you do, because apparently I am incapable of explaining myself coherently today.)

What a beautiful collage, a fairy tale, there is so much movement here and enchanting details. I love the rabbit, the girl and the bird, very inspiring! Have a nice day, Andrea
PS May I join the AEDM although I missed the beginning?

Beeautiful. Love the repeated circles and the way everything goes together. Are you really into trees? I noticed a # of tree images in the Flickr photos by a # of people. I think trees are hard to do.

This is so striking. The bold collage images are great! I always love to see what you dream up. Ha! And now that I’ve taken that encaustic class, I can imagine accidentally creating a big ball of mud!
