From Above, Collage with hand painted and weathered papers, 8x8"

This is today’s collage. I am really enjoying the new painted magazine pages. The black and white passage in the center is from an advertisement for glass architectural tiles. It has been painted over with strokes of Titan Buff and incorporated into the overall collage of hand painted papers. The very textural pink and white piece is from my collection of weathered papers.

Collages Using Weathered Papers

Shown below are some weathered papers that I've left out on the ground for months at a time. They show the marks of the passage of time, the weather, and the earth.

These scraps from a corrugated box were under the soil in my raised bed garden for a few months . . .

This is how the papers look when they are brought in from outside.
