CLUB COLLAGE

Lovely collaborative collage Ti Ar Raden and Moan Lisa :)

This is my most recent collage which I made by saving bits of magazine and ad images where the colors are side by side, and then I cut circle shapes from the bits to glue on a background of black and white strips. It is a 5" x 7" postcard which was mailed to a recipient from the Circle group.

Here is an 8" x 10" collage I  made using the same technique as the postcard. It is titled "On the Cutting Edge." 

5" X 7" postcard. I was awarded a nomination for The TrashPo Litzer Prize - Landfill of Fame with this postcard as my first attempt at TrashPo. :) It was declared to be in the category of aesthetic TrashPo.

Grace, your 'cutting edge' and circles collages are brilliant!!

i help run a collage night once a month at a local gallery. this is one of the collages i made at the last one we had.

grace, i absolutely love the circle collages you've done. fantastic work.

Hello! This is the most recent art I worked on

Thanks very much Gu and William :-)

This is a collage post card I made for an art exchange

Can someone suggest a good permanent glue or paste for use to adhere glossy photos/cards/etc to other glossy photos/cards/etc. I've been reduced to using rubber cement, but would love something else if anyone has suggestions. 

Thanks

you could try spray mount. most of my collage work is done with a combination of glue stick and double stick tape. sometimes both together on a single piece of paper. i avoid things like mod podge as it melts(in warmer climates) and then sticks to other things.

my wifey Li just gave me a bottle of a bookbinder's glue called BindArt. I haven't tried it on the glossy stuff yet, but it does have a better lay-flat reaction on paper to paper glueing. Thx WilliamM. BTW I love your work! I've been thinking of sending you some mail.

you're welcome and please do send some work!

Would love to start exchanging with other collage-based artists!

''DENMARK IS.....''

You are invited to participate in an International Mail Art Envelope Exhibition with the theme ''Denmark is....'' that will be held at Kulturstationen Vanløse, Copenhagen, Denmark in May 2018.

What comes into your head when you think about Denmark – Hamlet & Elsinor Castle? The stories of Hans Christian Anderson? Danish blue cheese? Lego bricks (there are about 62 for every person in the world!)? The Tivoili Gardens in the centre of Copenhagen? The Little Mermaid statue? Carlsberg beer? Danish bacon?

We all have different images of the country, and we would like you to send us an Envelope with your visions of Denmark on it.

Envelopes can be any size, but should be no bigger than A5 -- 2.3 x x 1.6.cms/8.3 x 5.8 inches.

The front of each Envelope should include your view of what 'Denmark is....', for example a painting, drawing, collage, etc.

On the back of the Envelope please include your name, contact details and any other information that you think might be relevant.

Only the front of the Envelopes will be displayed in the Exhibition (so there is no need to put anything inside your Envelope).

Please send your Envelopes to:

Helle Pollas
Tureby alle 29a
2650 Hvidovre
Denmark
before 25 April, 2018

There will be no jury, no fees, and no return of the Envelopes. All the Envelopes submitted will be exhibited, but anything deemed offensive, unsuitable for our visitors, or straying too far from the brief may not be included. A blog will be set up on which the received Envelopes can be seen.

Futher information can be obtained from Isaac Kenneth Donkor cr1z@kff.kk.dk, or helle.pollas@gmail.com

Kulturstationen Vanløse is a cultural and social hub offering a wide selection of cultural activities for adults and children. It is visited by more than 380,00 each year. Annually, Kulturstationen Vanløse presents 300 cultural events, which, in 2018, will include the International Mail Art Exhibition 'Denmark is..' and two related events – Valentine Mark Herman's 'An Envelope a Day for a Year', and an exhibition of childrens' envelopes pproduced at a series of workshops with the theme, 'My Copenhagen...My Denmark....'

I'm cleaning out supplies. Anyone want a bunch of random images and ephemera? Colorful and great for collage.

Sure! That sounds great. I'm at 608 Shady lane Charleston WV 25314.
