Away,
I love creating my collages and playing with texture so I wanted to try to combaine these techniques in one. I am very pleased with the results as the collage/painting turned very nice, if I say so. :-) The vibrant colours speak for itself.
Since Hobbycraft discontinued their home delivery for large canvas, 100 cm by 100 cm I had to collect them from the store. It wasn't easy journey from Putney to North Greenwich having to use 2 trains and a bus. The challenging part was going through the Waterloo station where I had some looks, but a sacrifice had to be made for my "Labour of love" :-)
Over the weekend I created a few collages on canvas with beautiful movie stars. They are 30 cm by 40 cm and you can find them listed in under collages. Your feedback would be much appreciated.
Two Quid.
This my first collage created with street posters. There is a reason for this title. Dressed in my scruffy outfit with a hoodie and without makeup. I was on my first poster hunt mission, on the dark streets of London. I was in my glory with my successful hunt. While waiting for my bus to go home I was squishing all pieces in my canvas bag and guy was passing by and stopped in front of me. When I saw his feet I froze thinking I was in deep trouble. The guy gave £2.00 saying: " have a cup of coffee" thinking I must be a strange, homeless woman. I was relieved about my fear and all I said was :"god bless you sir". It was a funny situation, but it wouldn't be my last encounter.
