Wild Alliance

It is all collage with me at the moment... I'm happily playing around in my studio, trying to find my style (and in doubt whether I will ever find it)

These pictures are from a collage I rediscovered in one of the big, heavy books that I use to store my collages. I was putting the latest results in, when I found this one among others that are either finished or still wait for that final touch ;-)

About a year ago, I think, I made collages inspired by Martha Marshall's blog .

I used a big patternsheet of an old sewing magazine as a base, painted big areas in all kind of colours with acrylic paint and pasted pictures and text pieces at random. Then, using a window (frame) marked 5" x 7" rectangles that I liked and cut these out: you get a lot of collages from one pattern sheet I can tell!!

I showed some of them in this and this post, below is another one:

P.s: I love how everything falls into place, it seems, when making collages!
Only one week ago I was sailing the Heineken Regatta, across wild seas between the islands of Anguilla and St. Maarten/St.Martin and now, one year after making it, I find back this collage and can only agree with the picture and the text: wild alliance
