(Love the yellow one, by the way, looks perfect to me, but what do I know, I hardly ever collage anything).<br /><br />Looking at it, I think the issue for me is too much contrast between the paper animal and the big black circle considering the transitions on the rest of the collage.<br /> <br />Blending that area (sanding - what a great idea!) might resolve it.FinnBadgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17623312291708136478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29130064.post-78146614124875181222014-12-01T07:52:38.222-08:002014-12-01T07:52:38.222-08:00I think I am going to have to change my Blogger pl...I think I am going to have to change my Blogger platform (it's very old now) as I can't seem to reply to each of your comments separately. Thank you, Pamela, TARAdactyl and Jack for weighing in with your kind words and suggestions. I have the collages in frames propped against the wall and am giving them a good look over. It's the little creature in the red one that seems to be the most problematic. He might need to be sanded off or papered over. Will let you know!

I usually leave mine hanging around where I see them a lot and even hols bits of stuff overareas to see if it works or not. I usually end up going too far but hopefully I'll be better prepared to stop next time.Jacobus (Jack) Oudynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844788427156989471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29130064.post-67726977462318744032014-11-30T17:04:50.585-08:002014-11-30T17:04:50.585-08:00Both of these collages are fantastic!

You can be sure that you create some amazing stuff though!TARAdactylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05024721095810899910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29130064.post-35889863620740656442014-11-30T10:37:50.384-08:002014-11-30T10:37:50.384-08:00How lovely life sounds right now -- interesting an...How lovely life sounds right now -- interesting and filled with work, friends, art, etc<br />I shouldn't open my mouth about the collages since I am in the learning process too but of course i will 9since you asked). i like them both very much but I find the little animals in them distracting since (to me) they don't seem to relate to rest of the collages.<br />But i love the rest -- and you could always collage over the animals.....just sayin'. <br />Enjoy your time in the city!Cappuccinoandartjournal.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11241197153708410602noreply@blogger.com
