Clearing up the Scraps

One of the last things I usually do each night is tear up a piece of watercolour paper and make a collage of whatever seems readily available. There is not much thought or planning involved with these pieces, they are just serendipitous.... and no, I am not aware of any particular deep, subliminal or otherwise motivation behind the pages..they are just night night journal and close my day.

These are two more. I think I only needed to make six, but got carried away, as usual!

Today I've been working on a bunch of Trading Cards for an Art-E-Zine swap with a numbers theme.

Art For The Day

Some days it works and all hail to the muse when it does!

I finished a bunch of trading cards for a Grunge theme today. I also got around to taking a picture of the latest piece of assemblage that I finished a few days ago. It looks a whole lot better in the shadow box that it lives in, but you get the idea.

I also fiddled a bit with new pics for the website. I have only loaded a new face page, the rest will come in time.

...stay tuned!

Beauty in the spotlight. Yet another Trading Card piece for a swap.

Fruit or frustration

I worked for ages tonight on a new vintage grunge piece. Turned around to play with a new something and hit the wrong save-as button and lost it all!! Grrr! Not often that I do that, but it really bites when it happens! I should have just gone back and re-done it while it was fresh in my mind, instead I went and fiddled with other stuff, created three more collages and ended up not being satisfied with anything much.

Time for bed!

I guess this rather sums it all up!

Vintage Grunge #2

Impulse V Compulsion

There's a list of "things to do" on my desk some of which I am fairly well compelled to do. Then there is the mountain of ideas which spark the impuslive moments of creativity.

Without too much aforethought I concocted a digital label for a collaborative CD music project that I am working on (nope you cant see that! :-) ). I finished yet another 3D assemblage piece which I will take pictures of when it's dry and standable uppable! And lastly, but not least, finished #2 in my series of Vintage Grunge.

Although I was compelled to do some laundry, I think the impulsive side won out yet again.
Who is surprised? Not me.

Vintage Grunge Part I
I'm working on a series of Vingtage "grunge" style pieces. I've hundreds of these gorgeous old cabinet photos and they rather beg to have something funky and not quite so "expected" done with them.
Stay tuned..

"Life in the fast lane"
One of my recent collage pages. Frequently created last thing at night with the detritus left on my desk at the end of the day. Very serendipitous and spontaneous - amazing what comes out though!
