I haven't done anything with collage in the longest time - but all these great papers got me interested. There are a lot of papers that simply aren't suited for pendants, or only part of them are.
I set myself up with the following parameters: only vintage papers. Only my hand alterations. Vintage trims as much as possible.
No reproduction, no scanning, no xerox, no new stuff, no "artists papers" no stamps.
The finished collage is coated with sanded resin, for a more opaque and smooth surface.
Have you ever given yourself parameters like that to get out of a rut? Does narrowing it down from totally infinite help you or hinder you? I find it a huge help to have a few things pre-decided for me. I plan on doing more challenges for this reason.
