This
is one of the easiest projects ever and it’s an idea you can use again and
again! Here’s the recipe:
1.
Gather some solid color and pre-printed papers in a variety of weights. (I
chose handmade mulberry paper.)
2. Randomly
stamp and/or paint on each sheet. (I used metallic and iridescent acrylics,
dye-based and metallic inks.)
3. Cut
and tear up the sheets and combine them, using additional altered or un-altered
sheets as a substrate. Mix in additional solid color papers, origami papers, or
whatever catches your eye. (Use whatever adhesive or medium you prefer to
secure the pieces.)
4. Keep
your collage paper sheets out on your work table. (Do not tuck them away or
you’ll forget that you made them!)
5. Tune in on August 29 for Altered Collage
Papers – Part 2. We’ll explore what to do with the collage papers. (Even
though I love the sheets as is, I’m going to be fearless and cut them into
pieces…)
SUPPLIES
- Matte medium or other adhesive of choice
- Assorted solid color and printed papers in a variety of weights
- Stamps (large abstract, small motifs, phrases)
- Inks
- Iridescent and/or metallic acrylic paints or other opaque paints of choice
- Brushes
I love this. Tearing is so fun for me... destroying before I create, lol.
