Found collages from Michael’s old VINTAGE book

 

Three Four The Price Of Merz

My workroom floor has always been a good sauce (sic) of materials for any Schwitterings that I might be doing. Kurt was always a favourite of mine and happy doing a homage to the great man every chance I get. He was the DADA of all that is MERZ! The three examples of floor sweepings are all done in the space of an hour. The first being Hazel's idea of covering a peice of paper (in this case a flyer given away with some cider in Manchester yesterday ) in glue and pressing it directly ono the floor thus picking up clippings and fluff etc. I had to do this twice to create the desired density of grottage (is that a word?). The two framed expamples are more old fashioned - just putting papers in spaces they looked more at home in. You can decide if they are successful of not as I'm not sure!

Theme: Random/Merz Free-for-All

Not done one of these for a while. A fun one.

Any random, accidental left-over materials made

into new collage artworks welcome.

How about a Running Jump!

I am confessing I was unable to create a new collage this week. We are having so much repair work/installation of a new fireplace/etc. performed in our house by the time it would be time for me to play with my paper. scissors and glue all I wanted to do was collapse. So here is one from the archives that I actually created for The Kollage Kit 14 years ago!

Cue the Queue Jumpers!

Running Or Jumping.........................................Circus

Plenty of running and jumping going on here.

Running up a new dress

 Now my thinking changed during the making of this  collage.

I was thinking of running the flag up the flag pole and gave the Queen a broom stick to wave the United Nations flag…I was sat at my sewing table and realised we also ran up a garment…made of flags.💡

So that was my weird journey and that’s my excuse 😅.
