Sunday in Arizona is about Assemblage

We love creating from 'stuff', how about you?


Gather STUFF and then pick a focal piece.  Let your mind go free with imagining.   See shapes used in a different way,    Turn things upside down for a new perspective, literally.   Pile things on top of one another and then let them fall, see what comes to mind.   Play like a KID.   

The first piece is made purely from found items with an artists mannequin.   Nuts, bolts, jewelry pieces, pins, feathers and an old aluminum dessert dish work together to create this warrior.

Paints and mists were used once it was assembled using a sturdy glue.   Feathers and pins were added after painting.




This second piece uses a painted wooden ATB with feet, a top block added and a metal picture holder inserted into the wood, a paper layer from Glitz, fiber and gold leaf.



PLEASE see the blog each day this month for the amazing and wonderful creations made in partnership with Unruly PaperArts.

Thanks for freeing your mind and playing a little bit.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
