Inspired by the rich textures of frayed fabric edges and deckled-edge handmade papers, I took these materials and composed them into mini adventure collages. Which one would you like to visit in real life?
This little series of work is a short departure from my typical figurative, blind contour-y style. I wanted to dive into composition and color play a bit more, while keeping the sewing aspect less technical so I could focus on trying my hand at a new skill - framing!
Holy moly!😆 there are so many supplies involved in framing, it’s a whole new world I’ve discovered. I tried float mounting all these and I really love the look.
Keeping with my theme of intentionally choosing the materials I use, I repurposed all the frames. They are in good clean condition but may show signs of their previous lives, which I appreciate and hope you can too. Fabrics are mostly secondhand cotton/silk from and , my favorite places to get fabric ever. Handmade papers made by .
All these plus a few more are listed in my Etsy shop right now! Check em out on this glorious Friday!
