something different

I keep scraps of paper and old mail thinking that “someday” I’m going to make a collage. So….here’s what happened.


I took an old failed watercolor and covered it up with paper and ink stamps.



Now what to do….??

    This is an awesome collage! Can't wait to see how you decide to finish it!

    Love all the black/white crosswords pieces on there too. I have never see those used and they look wonderful.

    I had to do a collage for the first time in an online art class and we had to find an image within the entire collage! It was difficult for me! I kept looking and looking and just could find anything. Then for the third collage I finally got the hang of it and painted "Flora"!

    Have fun with the rest of this collage! It is very exciting already!

    Don't ask me! I don't do much collage. I still can't imagine that you would have a "failed" watercolor! :)

    The collage looks fantastic! Great idea! I keep those scraps too for some future projects I didn't start up to now. What about greeting cards? I would love it to receive either a copy of the collage as a greeting card or a partial section of the collage.

    Great way to use up your scraps! I love what you have done here. The colours and stamps work really well together. I will look forward to seeing what you do next. How lovely you are getting a new kitten Sue, I hope you post a picture. Its awful being without a 'fur baby' in the house, she will be a friend for you pup:)
