Thanks Dani. I love the unique process of just dropping the pieces and the symbolism of letting go. It's so freeing yet empowering. So happy to be inspired and learn a new art technique for my Visual Journaling (VJ). I'll have a go first before sharing at my VJ class for seniors next week at our public library.
I'm happy to share! Thank you so much for being here Anne. I hope you enjoy the process, and if you decide to share it with your class, I hope they enjoy it too! ☺️
I happen to paint in a similar kind of way but I never thought to apply it to collage art. Although my process continues further by taking the play into a bit more controlled final product. Even some of the pieces that end up looking like they were entirely planned out start the same way. I allow the paint to decide what it wants to become and then I allow it to use my hands to finesse it. It’s always a pleasure seeing you at work. This gave me an idea I can use in my classroom with my students who struggle with their collages. I had one of my classes make scrappy collages and some just couldn’t figure out the idea of taking random scraps and arranging them into a pleasing composition. Maybe this would let them experiment a little and loosen them up.
Wow, thank you for sharing that! Sounds interesting. Gravity and material as a co-creators has always fascinated me too 😄 If you try this with your students, I hope they have a ton of fun with it. It definitely pulled me out of my mind and into the process. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts 🙏🏻
@@calicoflowerstudio I am enjoying your collage immensely. I bought a frame to put it on my wall I just haven’t gotten around to it. I do have the collage sitting on my bookcase and I look at it every single day. When I do I will tag you on IG. Keeping an eye for a suitable partener for it since I have two frames exactly the same. 😉
Thank you for sharing this process. It really worked for me being a Virgo perfectionist and wanting to control! I am definitely trying this out. I was thinking of the trimming of the edges before you then said you had framed it to allow them to flow over. Again I was already perfecting it but that works so well!! I would never have thought of that. Have you tried dropping the pieces all at once too??? That would be harder to stick down but fun too.
Thank you for watching! I'm glad it spoke to you 🧡 and yes! I have thought of that - dropping the pieces all at once. Haven't tried it yet, but I likely will at some point! I imagine it's a whole different experience.
What a great way to get your left brain out of the way and let the universe join in with your process. I love the result!
EXACTLY!! That's exactly right. Thank you for being here ☺️🧡
