Second asymmetrical collage

Here's my second practice piece for my Composition class with Claudine Hellmuth.  The birdcage and man are some of the images that Claudine includes with the class as downloads.  So far we've gotten 5 sheets of images to download each week.  The dark paper with the gears is a piece of DCWC paper.  The stock market piece is from the newspaper and the definition of work came from an old dictionary that I got when a local bookstore went out of business.  The letters are chipboard and colored with Tim Holtz's Distress Stain (this stuff is great - so easy!)  This week's assignment is a horizontal line composition - I'll post when I finish it.  I've been working on finishing my piece for One Little Word - I'm really happy how that has turned out.  That will be posted in the OLW Blog Hop on July 1st.

Composition for Collage

Asymmetrical collage - take one



Asymmetrical collage - take two

 Here is my first assignment for the Composition for Collage class I'm taking online at Big Picture Classes.  The top photo is the first piece I put in for review by Claudine Hellmuth, the instructor.  The only suggestion she had was to cut away the piece to the left of the woman's face in that image and let the lace show through.  I did that but the piece of lace does not cover the entire width of the background and then when I went to adhere everything down I did not line up the top of the lace and the top of her head as well as I did in the first photo.   Classes are for learning, I remind myself, and I did have a lot of fun.  Please feel free to share your comments!
