I started to work on the postcards for the swap during the weekend; therefore, they’re a little bit Halloween inspired! This time, it’s acrylic and collage on paper pages from an old book. I like the way they add texture and rhythm to the cards.
The first thing I did was to paint and cut these paper leaves, but they did not fit on the test card. My idea did not come out as planned and I had to start over twice, with an end result that was completely different from what I had in mind.
I also had fun with the leaves I collected a few weeks back.
Elsa Mora just launched a brand new blog about papercutting, and it’s already filled with lots of beautiful artworks!
Oh wow, Julie, it looks exciting! I hope you could use your painted leaves somewhere else? And I adore the leaf animals you made, specially the fishy first one! Would make awesome prints! Have you made a autumn mandala yet?
Thank you Hanna! And don’t worry, these leaves will end up somewhere else. :-)
I’ve seen your beautiful mandala, I might try one as well!
I’ve been collecting leaves and drying them to use in collage but hadn’t thought about using them like you just did. Love the shapes you created. Maybe I will be lucky and receive one of your cards in the mail.
J’adore ces montages de feuilles. Très créative soeur!
C’est très beau! Quel délicatesse!
Merci pour les liens, très intéressant. Elsa Mora est productive n’est ce pas? Inspirant tout ça!
