Quotations, Definitions, and Mixed Media
|
Posted by Jenn Greenleaf Oct 3, 2008 |
I use quotations, either in whole or in part, in my art pieces quite a bit. This is not just in collage work, but everything:
- Mixed media paintings
- Altered book work
- Art journaling
- ACEOS and ATCS
- Mixed media art cards (greeting, notes, etc.)
- Handmade books (their covers, as well as some interior pages)
I love those stickers that look like they’re printed on a piece of masking tape – the ones with the definitions on them. If I could have multiples of those in my stocking every year for Christmas, I would be a happy girl. They’re perfect for deckling and inking, plus they give an excellent finishing touch to just about every piece I work on.
I like printing out definitions and quotations on my computer using interesting fonts and colors, too. It’s a lot of fun playing around with these words so they look “just right,” and then altering them with various media. My only problem is I constantly forget to save them on my computer for future use with other projects!
Do you like using quotations and definitions in your mixed media art pieces?
