Collages









I wanted to post a few of my collages that I have made. I used 12" x 12" gallery wrapped canvas. I made color copies of the old photos and newspaper clippings. Some images I printed on my Epson printer. The large image imposed on top was xeroxed, then I added several layers of gloss medium, letting each layer dry completely. I then washed off the paper on the back side leaving a plastic layer imprinted with my image. I used handmade stamps, store bought stamps, acrylic, watercolor, crayon, bubble wrap, found objects and all sorts of things around the house to give textures to the paintings.
