Two Tuesdays - Collage #15

2012 Collage Challenge

While looking for some collage material I pulled out a pile of unfinished and less than perfect gelatin plate prints I had tucked away in a drawer. It's always fun to go through these piles with fresh eyes and find small sections that have some interest to see if they can be reused in a new piece. 

The theme for this months sketchbook challenge is circles so I've been seeing them everywhere I look including on these old old gelatin plate prints

Sketchbook Challenge - Doodling

I haven't written about the sketchbook challenge in the past few months but I have been following along - reading about it more than sketching though. I was glad to hear that the hosts decided to continue this challenge into 2012. January's theme was Doodling. What could be more fun - just play and make random unplanned marks on a page using any tool you like and see where it leads.

This last one was done using Jane Davies ink doodle technique. Drop ink on a page, lift and move the page around letting the ink draw the lines. Then when dry you can go back in and add some paint or pencil.
