footprintz

this posting is in honor of my son, alex. he is packing tonight to go on a camping trip with his best friend and godfather. alex is quite a bit older than in the photo i used in the collage -- about to go into middle school.

this collage came together effortlessly, easily. this was also my first experiment in bleaching photos.

the blog entry title is a pun on the name of the collage, "footprints," and my last name, printz.

ugly collages

i don't know what's wrong. i have been trying to make collages for the past couple of days to post here -- the "ten minute" supposedly easy kind -- and they have come out HORRIBLE. i have some paintings waiting to be finished, thank goodness.

now, my challenge is....what to do with the ugly collages??? first i threw them away, but i can't stand to be wasteful of good art supplies, meaning the back side of good watercolor paper. so back on the art table they went for another day.

karate kids grown up

i found a karate instruction book in bargain section of our local used bookstore and have had tremendous fun with cutting it up! i used to cringe at cutting books -- i owned a bookstore for quite a few years. now i delight in it.

this is a small collage -- about the size you see on your screen -- 3" x 3" and done on watercolor paper. i've posted it on my etsy store, too, at http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13549077.
