"In Bloom" - 4 new collages

I created in my mini (4" x 5") "In Bloom" sketchbook journal this week. You can read more here and here. These collages were made with the limited time frame. Just like painting, collaging is relaxing for me. I can get into the zone and create.

"In Bloom" - collages 1 to 4

I'm so glad that I decided to work in 3 sketchbook journals at one time. See previous post here. This week I could eke out only a few minutes per day to work on my art. Making these mini (4"x5") paper collages fit into this time frame.

3 sketchbook journals - "In Bloom", "Language" and "Uncomfortable Zone"

It's time for me to start creating in a new sketchbook journal. Instead of creating in one at a time, I decided to work in three at once. 

"In Bloom" is another book made using collaged card stock like "Time For Tea". It's 4.5" x 5.5". Instead of watercolor paper like "Time For Tea", it's made with cut up magazine pages as the signatures. I will use this sketchbook journal to create small paper collages.

"Language" is an altered book that has monoprinted watercolor paper in various sizes. This one will be use to create sketches using words or sayings as a prompt.

"Uncomfortable Zone" is a 5" square book made of primed canvas.The story behind the title of this book has to do my goal to work outside my comfort zone. Creating on this material will allow me to add many layers of paint and pen marks. I'm uncomfortable adding layer upon layer in my art. I usually create in an uncluttered style. Let's see how it goes.
