Christmas Collage

It is that time of the year that we pile a lot of paper advertising all the Christmas supplies that we can imagine and more.

This year, instead of throwing everything in the recycle bin, I decided to do something out of it.

I decided to make some collages and here is the result. Not bad, I think ... I was surprised since this is not something that I usually do.

First, I selected the images that I liked the most from all magazines, catalogs, flyers, etc., cut them, and grouped them into different categories, like colors, shapes, styles, etc. As I started to do that, ideas popped into my mind, a piece of paper here, a piece of paper there, and when I realized a composition was done. Sort of!
Once I had all my images pre-mounted in a paper with the correct dimensions and in a place that satisfied me, I had to make the background. I used acrylic paint and painted the scene on a different paper. With the background ready and dried, I just had to transfer my composition piece by piece and glue them with a glue stick on top of the background.

Happy Holidays!
