Collages have led me to view fabrics in a new way! It's fun and relaxing. After the Seahorse class, I wanted to try my own designs. First, I drew the sand dollar to collage. After trying to mount it on the stretched canvas frame, I turned to YT to fix bulk at corners. Then, I wanted to make the letter A for DD with pink. I collaged the letter on light pink, but didn't finish it yet. I thought, "Collage background, and leave letter A as negative space! That's what she got!

They are both lovely, but the sand dollar is my favorite as the plain background really focuses your eye on the center.

I agree the sand dollar really stands out. Will be watching for more art pieces.

Thanks, all! These projects were certainly a learning experience. I started by designing small projects to test what techniques work. Now I know that graphics need to be larger than 1.5", possibly 3"? The smaller graphics get lost in larger areas. Also, the fabric for the A was already mish-mashed, so it didn't work as well as the fish. All that hard work ended up looking a lot like the virgin piece!
