I'm trying out an idea: mini-collages made from elements of my last piece, "Greener."
This one I did about a week and a half ago, and on Tuesday morning I did all but the final wash on another. I'm forcing myself not to spend a lot of time on these -- about three hours. I'm also trying to use only what I have on hand: a piece of wood cut down to 4"x4" as the substrate, black rice paper, the focal image, mica, and paper fragments edged with an acrylic wash. Not a full assemblage, but not completely two-dimensional either.
Still deciding what to do with the collages when I'm done... I know there are some galleries that have miniatures shows. Etsy is a possibility, now that I have a better understanding of how my vendor friends use it. What do you think? Tell me in the comments or on Facebook.
