I am having so much fun making collages!
Here is my newest creation that is exclusively available in my Etsy Shop.
It is available as either a signed print or in a set of note cards paired with my collage The Pug Kiss shown below.
The Pug KissI really enjoy the process of painting with colored/textured paper.
I never know exactly how the papers will translate. Everything is broken down into shapes.
I do not necessarily choose the colors for their contrasting quality consciously, but it often turns out that one side has a shadow quality which I like. I think it gives the piece a little more depth.
I love how the tongue and nose turned out. I chose a pink paper with silver lines on it for the tongue, but I did not plan where the silver lines would appear. I totally smiled when I turned it over and the line was right where I would have painted it. How fun is that?
And the nose was fun to turn over and see that I captured a swirl right where I would have painted a nostril.
It is little things like that just make my whole day. What little things in life make you happy? I would love to know!
I really love these collages that you've been making! The tongue and nose are great! That polka dot fabric is perfect!

Hi Melissa and Emmitt, they are maserade partying pugs. My moms and I love the colors. They make the little puggies look dressed up and going to a festive maserade party- on a cruse or somewhere. Very nice "outfits" They look so happy.
