I pulled a piece of cardboard from behind my desk and put it on my studio floor. I took out my collage materials and chose one of the collages I started a while back.
I don’t know how long I worked on it, but time seemed to go quickly. Finally, I cut two of the figures out of the collage pulled most of what I had glued on top of the girl off, and drew her a pair of legs.
I placed her and the sheep on a piece of old quilt backing and took one of the appliques from the front of the quilt and hung it in the corner like a sun.
The girl and sheep made of canvas. I haven’t attached them to the quilt yet, I’m not sure how I will, but I’ll figure it out.
As I placed each piece of fabric down on the quilt back, as I drew the legs and boots, I knew it was right. I knew it was saying exactly what I wanted it to.
I know the title too, it’s called “I Am Not A Ghost.”
I really like this piece, possibly another magnet?
Yes, Marsha, I’m thinking it will be and post cards too. Thank you.
Love this. Too tuckered to say more, but it made me happy.
Thank you Donna. Enough said!:)
I was moved to tears when I saw this collage. So powerful, so simple, so beautiful. The only change I made in my own mind was adding one word to the title. “I am not a ghost, dammit!”
I love to hear that you were so moved by it Renate. I was surprised when I made it how powerful it felt to me.I’ve come to trust that feeling. Thank you.
Just wanted to leave a note re how much I enjoy your posts. You have encouraged me to stretch my creative muscles a bit. You have taught me that I can start a project without knowing where it’s going. Just jump in! Thanks for that.
Oh Suzanne, thank you for doing it and letting me know. That feels good!
