Regina Spektor

A rep from a hand made paper company came into our collage class and showed us how to make rope out of paper. So I made some and then used it in my Regina Spektor collage. The background is a wash of green acrylic, Elmers glue on top and while that's still wet I dropped watery purple acrylic on top and let the glue work its magic.

The Stranger

I did this book jacket for my portfolio class. In the original you can see more color, I probably have to boost it up in photoshop. Anyway, I was trying to translate Camus' bleak existential outlook along with his beautiful writing style. In my attempt I had minimal content and bleak tones, but a lot of different colors inside. My model is my dashing husband, Mike.

Homage to Bjork

This is an homage to Bjork I did in my collage class. It's watercolor with acetone transfers and colored pencil on the transfers.

Edmund Dulac

I was researching Goblin Market by Christina Rossetti and came across this image. I LOVE it and I want to be her and live in a world where everything is painted by Edmund Dulac. This put me in such a good mood. How did I not know about him before?

I thought this was a pretty neat site. I came across it while I was researching collage techniques.
