Mixed Media Collage

Another recent collage, this one featuring spirals and petal shapes.  These collages are all made from torn strips or pieces of paper, decorated with spattered, sponged or brushed on acrylic paint.  I use good quality acid free glue, and finish with two coats of acrylic varnish for protection from moisture.  These are meant to be hung unframed.  I attach a wire to the back for hanging.  This collage is 29 1/2 inches by 21 inches.  The bottom photo shows the detail in the textured border.  It was made by glueing tissue paper pulp onto a strip of watercolor paper.  I added pock marks with an orange stick for even more texture, and painted it with brown and metallic paint when dry.
