Quiet Gray Winter Afternoon
Moseyed into my studio on a quiet gray afternoon last week and enjoyed the weatherlessness of starting another card for my pink collage postcard series.
Fun:
• tearing pieces of handpainted pink collage paper;
• tearing and cutting pieces of handpainted black collage paper;
• cutting a piece of black and gray collage (the vertical strip left of center) from a Shutterfly calendar I made using images of paintings from a Jane Davies class I took in 2016;
• arranging and rearranging all the bits and pieces into a composition;
• spreading glue;
• pressing all the bits in place; and
Funny:
• discovering, once done, that instead of covering the printed side of the piece of card stock I'd garnered from a recent solicitation from my son's alma mater, I had covered the blank side, leaving myself no place to write a message on my postcard!
This piece has been under refrigeration for a few days. It could stand as is (once I paint over the message side of the card!), but I'm going to take one more look tomorrow, after it's been online overnight, and consider some possible tweaks before making a final decision.
