Working on series

I took a "Collage Joy Taster" in January and am now in a paid online class, Cat Rains "Collage Joy 2025" class... at my own pace.

Challenges: Trying to make collages with straight edges on a scrapbook page instead of working on an ATC or postcard with set edges has a learning curve. My adhesion techniques are improving but are not yet where I want them to be. Using techniques to create a series rather than a one-off or two related pieces is still a stretch for me.

4" x 4" Collage series

Module 3 & 4 - working with neutrals

Potential layout for neutrals with a dash of color. I think the purple does not pop enough. It felt like an intense color when it was a 3" x 3" piece but not once I cut it up and laid it out.

Module 5 (warmup?) - Layout drafts for Neutral & cool circles

One-off pieces inspired by principles in the class

Neutral/brown 3" x 3" collage

and green postcard that used molding paste on tissue paper, white border is for display only, was made between the two classes:

RAK in swapbot.com's Handmade Postcard Club group (https://www.swap-bot.com/forums/topic/167739/1), RAK for cancelled mostly US flag stamps in red, white, and blue. If these do not get claimed in the group I will put in a general RAK.
