paper torn, layered and glued....

It has been a little while since I have played with paper,

I've missed it!

not the mess, mind you...

I had forgotten how much mess I can make when I collage!

.........................

I decided we needed a something for the wall in our lounge room

so I gathered some old textbooks, paper, vintage dictionaries & atlas, mod podge, washi tape,

 my brushes, spray graphite a couple of cog masks, a little chipboard birdie a 24" stretched canvas and started playing!

.........................

this is what I came up with

a piece that represents all of the members of my family.

God, maths, science, music, craft, space, nature, gardening, physics, sewing, craft, our surname, it is all there....things that represent each of the members of our family!

there is even a little lego tribute  ;)

There is a tree for each member as well -

standing tall and together.



I love this verse

 

The heavens declare the glory of God

the skies proclaim

the work of his hands

Psalm 19:1

 

 

It seemed to work perfectly over the top of the

Southern Sky star chart from a vintage atlas.

........................................

If you click on the photographs

they will probably be a little larger

if you would like to read anything on the collage.

 

Hope you find time today to be creative,
