Happy Accident



When I scanned this collage, the scanner light reflected off minor wrinkles in the trees. At first I was annoyed and was going to give it another try, but then I decided I liked the effect. It looks like mist is rising out of the woods in the middle ground.

  1. That DOES look like mist, like a nice morning fog. I also like your little cub checking out/playing with the fish.

  4. That's a beauty. Reminds me of a travel poster from the 40s.

  6. Love this collage! Is it done with just colored paper? The wrinkles work well. I found you via G. and I will be back!

  7. Thanks for stopping by Jillypoet. My collages are all done physically with paper, glue and scissors and not using photoshop. The paper is a mix of solid color sheets of paper, and textures, patterns and colors taken from magazine and catalogue photos. With rare exceptions I don't use any of these found images as what they actually are. For example; I'd rather use part of a green sweater as foliage than actual foliage.
