I had endoscopic surgery last week to remove my gallbladder.\u00a0 It was a bit more difficult than I thought, although far better than traditional surgery.\u00a0 Today I was finally able to get back to some me time (well, aside from all of the me time sleeping and working limited hours each day).\u00a0 While I am still taking it slow, I am trying to get my collages finished for the One Cause fundraiser.\u00a0 While the fundraiser doesn’t happen until February, work is due January 1st.\u00a0 The pressure is on!<\/p>\n

I returned to the digital images I printed early December, which you can see a couple posts down.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The original print.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

This is a version of the design that I digitally printed onto thin Lutrador.\u00a0 My goal for this collage was to work with it and possibly some of the digital prints I did on metal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I placed the print onto a piece of fabric that I first dyed and then airbrushed with fabric paint.\u00a0 I made this fabric some years back, and it’s been sitting in my stash.\u00a0 Using a heat tool, I burned away sections of the print that is stitched onto the fabric.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While I like the look, knowing that I’d have other elements on top, I decided to add a bit of bright neon yellow\/green paint for added punch.\u00a0 I dry brushed it onto the Lutrador and let dry.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nNext up I started experimenting with some printed metal pieces (it’s the same design) along with a copper mesh.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThen I placed a piece of watercolor paper that I painted a bright color (also from my stash) underneath a piece of yellow\/green spun poly.\u00a0 On top of that are some Tyvec cloth pieces that I painted and heated to get a rounded blob shape.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I then tried a longer piece of printed metal, the spun poly, and tyvec.\u00a0 Still not there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I added another piece of printed metal and further rearranged things until I got the above.\u00a0 While it’s not the final collage, it’s close.\u00a0 I did a slight rearrange and added some copper mesh to hold the top piece of metal in place.\u00a0 I didn’t post its image because I want to first finish it.\u00a0 Then, once I get permission from the fundraiser organizer that I can post, I will. The final collage will be in the 6×8″ range and mounted onto 8×10″ watercolor paper.\u00a0 If it appears it needs more breathing room on the paper, I’ll cut it down a bit more.<\/p>\n

It does feel good to be making something, even if it’s little and not finished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
