Had another fun 3 hours @buttonfactoryarts this morning, playing with raised layers and tracing paper in collages. One participants piece was themed around a picture of men's bare bums in a jungle. What could be better? #collageartist #samples #workshop #artisteducator #layeringpaper

Had such a fun time playing with acrylic and collage today @buttonfactoryarts as part of the seniors programming. The participants were such a hoot and i loved seeing them flip through vintage Life Magazine's from the 40's and 50's. I'll be there again next Thursday doing layered collages using tracing paper and transperency sheets. #artisteducator #mixedmedia #workshops #mixedmediacollage
