Fabric Collage on Hand Made Paper

 Pre-Covid, I was planning to go with Devora to a paper-making course near London, Ontario.

We never got around to actually going but during Covid, I decided to order home-made paper from "Papertrail", the company which ran the paper-making course.

And in a spurt of creativity, I don't exactly know when because I didn't blog about it at the time I made four collages using 5" X 7" paper and fabric scraps.  the purples were from Alana and Michelle's , some pieces from a dress of Elsie's and other purple bits and bobs in my stash. I still have a small container full of purples so maybe at some point I'll make more purple collages.  I actually saw a tryptich on an 8 1/2" X 11"sheet, but I digress.  I am assuming I made the collages in the summer of 2024 because I photographed them on September 14, 2024 after I had framed (Dollarama frames) and hung them on the wall.


 


Recently, while looking for fabrics for another project, I was reminded that I have a bin of blue small pieces and white wedding gown small pieces.  So I am going to try for another 4 collages in blue and white.  I must admit that I am trying to recreate the same or similar designs in case I am not inspired to create something totally new in design.  So sue me.




And here are the 4 pieces I made.





 

And now I am moving onto browns, golds, beiges and whatever else seems to fit.
