Description
This is a collage I made using a lot of my miscellaneous scraps of paper. The background is a paper that I used to remove paint from a brayer (roller) and I liked the combination of peach and dusty blue colors. The black and silver paper is a piece of a Japanese newspaper I dipped into black ink. To that I added a scrap of red mulberry paper, and then a Japanese postage stamp from my collection that was issued in 1980 and called “Walk in Spring.” To make these collages, I just sort of riffle around in my boxes of scraps, pulling out miscellaneous ones here and there, and then arranging them on a piece of paper. Nothing is planned ahead of time; I just go where the papers seem to take me.
