I do this a lot--I like to take my art that I've made in the past and add it to brand new art. In this case, I went through my faces from older art pieces and sketchbooks. I'll find a face, and let it help me decide on where I want to take it.
I print out the face on my computer and then I gather papers that compliment it, and then put them all together in a collage--
This next face was from 2013--one of my favorites--
Originally, this face was done in pastels, and the poppies were created with acrylics. So I took her face and made a new collage--
bringing in the brand new colors and flowers to change her up a bit.
And I also like to go through my sketchbook drawings--
So with these 2 girls, I did something different. I printed them out on a dictionary page--
......and put them on a box....
This is also a great way of taking your art journal pages and turning them into art pieces. You can use part of them or mix them with other pages--the possibilities are endless, and always fun. Plus it helps to do this when you're in a bit of a slump--your old art will help you make some new art--I promise! :-)
Aaah but the trick is how do you get the pieces to come together so seamlessly?? I know the one you used dictionary pages but what type of paper did you use to print the other? Just lovely pieces Diane.. Always love to see your work. Hugs! deb
