ATC Book - 06

When I started working on the collages for this ATC book I had not planned on have red as an accent color.  It just happened and I followed through with each of the seven collages in the book.

 

ATC Book - 05

I am close to finishing another of my portrait books....one more collage to do and then I can bind it.  The cover is complete so it will be an easy process.

My favorite part of this collage is using the cursive from the name Campbell’s from the soup label.

Patterns vaccinate me.   Combining a black and white photo with black and white patterns is a win win as far as I am concerned.

Two - fer Wednesday......

 I used teabag mesh on this one, too.  It is not as effective because the photograph is darker.  You can see how it looks on part of the white portion versus the photo.

 I started doing collages for another ATC book.  This one is the first of seven for the book.  I tried something that I like.  I added some teabag mesh over part of the photograph turning it a bit sepia.

November 2022 - ATC

  

For one of the ATC  groups to which I belong our theme for the last quarter of 2022 was fashion.  I sweated this one.  I had all sorts of ideas which I tried out but none were satisfactory.  As you know I let a piece lead me and I almost got lead down a dead end.  I felt that each ATC was rather flat in appearance. I consulted with my husband but he thought they were fine.  Fine.  Hmm!  Somewhere in the depths of my brain I thought about crumpled paper for texture.  I cut circles out of the textured paper that I created and then an idea popped into my head.  Cut circles and adhere the “circles” to the plastic sleeve.  I have never seen this done before and I think it works.

Then I had to photograph the ATCs but of course when they are in their plastic sleeves the light reflects.  I just have to go with it.
