Three New Quarantine Collages

I’ve been pretty sick for a while and I got tested for Coronavirus. While waiting for results (still waiting) and fighting depression, I decided to make 3 new collages.

I thought it would be a longer story, but really, that’s it.

I have this huge, bulging folder full of random images and color pieces and etc. So I challenged myself to see what I could make of some of it over the weekend. This is what I came up with.

Quarantine Collage (Settled on glues)

I do not claim to be any sort of trained artist. But artistic expression often plays a a part in my emotional self-care. And collage is an artistic expression with a pretty low entry bar. A little while ago, I posted three images of Quarantine Collage pieces when I was testing out three different methods of gluing.

Today I’ve added four more to the series. Not that you’re all that interested, but all four pieces are currently untitled. But, if you’re curious about the glue, I currently prefer the Mod Podge matte as my collage glue of choice. How ‘bout you?

Quarantine Collage (A Study In Glues)

I hope that you’re trying to find time in Quarantine to create healthy mental and emotional practices.

Maybe you need to . . . breathe in . . . listen to some music, read a book, watch a movie, eat something. Find what refreshes you, what keeps you alive.

Maybe you need to . . . breathe out . . . make some music, write something, create something, cook something. Find how you can express yourself and bring some good in to the world.

I’ve recently been playing around with some collage ideas and took the opportunity to experiment with three different gluing methods. You can click though each image to find more information, but, from left to right, we have: 01) Mod Podge, 02) Elmer’s Glue, 03) Glue Stick.
