Lesson 8: Collage Creation.
Extension of the Extension?
So you have just experienced the cost effective method of creating your own frame. Are there other ways to do this that can save you money but also add style and flair.
Here are some of my ideas. I hope you will add to them if you can think up innovative ideas to share with myself and the other students.
- Cut the frame out of a slab of clay and add your decorative pieces such as leaves or flowers on to the frame. Glaze either seperately or together. Glazing them together saves fuss and bother. Fit a piece of glass into the back of the frame and away you go. You will find this cost effective but not as inexpensive as the last method.
- Cut the frame from corflute or corrigated cardboard. Use these materials to give the frame a heavier more textured effect.
- Create the frame out of the colour, texture and pattern of the subject matter. Examples
- zebra textured ceramic frame with drawing of a zebra inside.
- Zebra fabric glued to a masonite frame cut to size and then fitted wth glass. Again this could frame a drawing of a zebra or African jungle.
- Make an eCard from your work on the webshots website. Examples. Amity
- Make an animation from a series of your drawings. Example.
- Make colouring pages for your kids! Colouring Pages.
- Try making a frame out of furniture.
- Make the frame art itself.
Post images of your frame and the final finished framed up piece in the discussion area. Please do so... we would be most interested to see it.
