Circles in Circles...8x10 Collage

There is an awesome collage on the Framed Art aisle at Target, the subject is circles layered on squares.  So that collage inspired me to try to create one of my own. 
At first I wasn't real happy with the finished product, so I revisited it with a little more inspiration..

I covered the stamped areas with more of the circle punches and rubbed on some more ink.

When the Mod Podge dried, I stamped circle images on the paper punches.

Now I have this really neat collage that I can print out on card stock and use for ATC backgrounds or use for the art journal I have to start.

I used a copy of a old photo that I bought from an antique shop and layered it on top of my collage print.

Dream...8x10 Collage

I created this 8x10 collage for my friend Jenn.  I used an art canvas board, scrap book paper, a magazine image, clear stamps, a fancy chip board piece and ephemera.  I used a mat finish clear contact sheet to make the image transfer.  It works just like using clear packing tape, but I think the paper backing of the image rubs off alot easier that it does the packing tape.

Bella Luna Handmade Banner...B is for Beautiful Spirit

I've decided on spelling out Bella Luna Handmade for my first Decorative Banner. So far I have three segments completed, B in Bella, N in Luna and a segment for in between Luna and Handmade. I think that it's funny how I never follow any kind of order, how I jump from one letter in the first word and then to another letter in the second word. That's the rhythm I follow. That may be because I tend to choose the clip art image first.

Anyway, I'm really enjoying this collage project. I'm calling it "My Collage Therapy". A prescription that leads to healthy dose of Artful Bliss.
