I don’t know about you, but play is one of main activities that seems to be helping me keep calm right now…to dig into a bin of paper scraps with my glue stick in hand and start creating…or pull out some paint tubes and go wild with brush in hand, laying down bold strokes…or gather up old photographs and pair quirky quotes from discarded books with each person, imagining what they might say if they spoke their mind.
I thought that others might want to play along…so I’m offering a workshop - “Rescued Relatives”
Using a vintage cabinet card (those turn of the century family portraits that were usually displayed in a cabinet in the home) as a prompt, you’ll have plenty of papers and ephemera to start…adding in whatever phrases you find in old books to complete your story. Your creation will be backed with a page of vintage marbled book end paper and finally attached to a wood beveled base, ready to display anywhere you want.
The workshop will be held in Everett on Saturday, October 11 and the cost is $40 per person. Additional details and registration can be found here.
Lastly, even though my Etsy shop is now closed, you can find a collection of my original collage compositions at FOLD Gallery in Los Angeles. Details on viewing the collages as well as online purchasing information can be found here
