Today I finished off the first side of a page I am making this month for Rande Hanson, one of the artists in my 'larger' skinny page project. She requested "Grunge". I decided to borrow from Kurt Cobain's song "Come as You Are" as the inspiration for this collage, since Nirvana was one of the original Grunge Bands. It's a cut and paste collage with a layer of beeswax that I applied over each piece before I glued them on. I am planning to add some wire to the grommets, but thought I'd scan it prior to that final step.
Come As You Are - 4 x 8 inch beeswax collage

ReplyDeleteGreat collage, love the design !
ReplyDeleteI love that song (it´s probably my favourite from Nirvana), and your skinny is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThis will turn out great with the grommets. I love using wax in my work too.
ReplyDeletewow, Trudi. So dimensional and so fitting of Rande's theme.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I love the beeswax application on each level, too. :)Bea
ReplyDeleteLove this piece !!!
ReplyDeleteAlso really like your concept of beeswax applied before you glue -
so you separate the layers a bit.
Bravo, Trudi!
Jjj
I really like the way this one came out, Rich colors and the the way you employed the theme. Good job!
