Thanks, Kendra. I checked that feature and I believe I have to do it when I make the post.

My latest collage. Here I practiced filling the canvas with torn paper first, with mostly maps and sheet music. Then I added other elements. I also practiced gluing the pieces with a brush. I know, probably elementary for most. For me, this is all new, but oh so fun!!

My latest creation...bug journey #mixedmedia #artplay #collage

I've been curious about tearing paper to form an image as a collage and practiced with this parrot template. I added the other pieces to complete the color story and create a larger scene for the parrot to exist in. I call it Torn Bird with Flowers 😍

I completed my latest collage. I am calling it "Child's View" after the sculpture by John Davies on exhibit at Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao. I am loving the play of elements and color in this one.
