Collage Class!

"Want to Find Happiness? Your dog will show you the way."

I had a fantastic time in collage class on Monday. What a fun workshop!

I created 2 collages. Well, actually 1 and a half. I will add to the bird one below as new ideas come to me. I am really happy with both of them, especially the backgrounds.

My goals for the day were:

• to have fun


• learn something new


• create something without a plan


• create some interesting backgrounds
  
  

The backgrounds were created by gluing textured papers to gessoed hardboard and then painting them. Super fun and easy with great results.

Here is my class.

Look at all of the supplies and fun art making going on. Lots of great energy in this room!

This is my work table. Here is my first collage as I was laying it out.

Here is the final design I glued down.

I definitely accomplished all of my goals for the day and more. I met some really nice people. One of the ladies had a 2 year old pug named Dimple at home. She was fun. She looked at the art I had brought to collage with and asked... Are you a pug person? I smiled. Little did she know she had met one of the craziest pug people she would ever meet. :)

It was a really fun day!

Oh! and I always want to let my blog friends know everything first... I just finished making two new pug dolls and made them available in my Etsy store.

Have a great Wednesday!
