The patterns in this collages were made by me using a mechanical harmonograph, which took me ages to build, test and get to work. All up this is one of the most time-consuming collages that I have made (even though it doesn't look it).
Collaborative traditional cut and paste (scissors and glue ) collage blog with a weekly set theme.
Great bit of work! You'll have to upload a photo of your harmonograph on Flickr- would love to see it.
ReplyDeleteCrafty, you INVENTED a machine for the machine collage challenge...I am impressed! (It's beautiful, btw.)
ReplyDeleteWow. Amazing back story on this lovely, other worldly collage.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments everyone! The gizmo is easily to build. Lots of instructions on the web. I'll post a pic eventually once I'm happy with it.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly win the prize for the most ingeniously literal interpretation of the theme: you buillt a machine...whoa!
ReplyDeleteThanks Fi. It doesn't work too well but hopefully I'll get a bit of mileage out of it yet. The best patterns are made by the dogs bumping the surface - just goes to show.
