Red Roof House of Music
5 X 7 Floating collage
Last week end I was at the Naperville Art League attending a workshop with Laura Lein-Svensner. It was a floating collage workshop. The pieces of collage are mounted on foam core so that they are raised up from the surface of the mat board on which they are mounted. For the first project of the class we all made a little house with a red roof. We were to have earth and sky background, a house with windows and a door and a red roof. The rest of the design was up to us. We had a wonderful variety of red roof houses. Mine has sheet music for the house, a treble clef for the chimney and notes on the red roof with a night sky.

Floating collage, 12 X 12
The next day we worked on a larger project for which we made our own papers (first day) and included some of our own photos. This collage has a picture of my parents; the map in the background is of South Dakota where they were born. This collage is a keeper for me.

ReplyDeleteJan, how cute is this? I love collage work and if I ever get to it I might actually CREATE one..
ReplyDeleteYes, good to be back if only in a small way.
I'm in Havana, Fl ... love it here.
I'll be around, with small visits to TN.
thanks for stopping by..
I like both the collages you did during your workshop. However, I agree that the one about your parents is a keeper, with all the symbolism and beautifully textured handmade papers. Blessings!
