Twitterpated

On the second tile I did for the "blue challenge" (remember the Strange tile?) I used a bit of collage. What a great way to hide something I don't like and take the work in a slightly new direction.

I thought you might like to see a piece of zentangle inspired art I finished a while ago that also uses collage. It was done on a six inch square of beige mat board. The collaged bits here are beige paper-punch spirals that I used to tone down the very bold black-and-white pattern (Jitterbug) at the top, bottom, and sides. This piece also has some very small, round black and dark copper brads.

It will be going in an exhibition I'm having in June and July. I call it Twitterpated. Have a great weekend!
