Your paintings are beautiful and I liked both collages as well. For the monkeys, I thought they might be doing some kind of telemarketing and the mushrooms were their seats in their "office." "We're trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty." haha

That was interesting. I kind of like those monkeys talking to each other sort of slouching around like teenagers (at least teenagers from my era when we still used rotary phones). I really liked 2 of your floral paintings - the last floral one especially. It's fun to try something when you aren't in the spotlight or having to worry about what people will say. I had no art background when I took a color theory class at our local art college. I was the only non-artist and the only one who wasn't actually a full time art student. It was so freeing to be able to be the "bad example" for everyone else. And I had a great time. Enjoy your experiment.

Collage 1: I like it. My first thought was that this represented a party line and the monkey was having the conversation and the other two were listening in (as busy bodies will do). So they seem like they are in the same neighborhood but not the same house.

The monkeys reminded me of how people sit around each other but they’re all on their phones. I loved it! Very cute. I also loved your new phone collage. I do think sometimes you are too hard on yourself, although I do get wanting to love it. Your paintings are beautiful. My favorite is the house on the rock! Nice to see you again!! 😊

Hi, Rosie. This was a nice informative update. I think it's sweet you shared your new hobby with us, but understand completely if you want to do something just for yourself. I thought of the monkeys as answering phones at a telethon. The top one is saying to herself,"I think this nut thinks I'm Taylor Swift", the second one is learning what it's like to be a captive listener to a narcissist, and the fellow on the bottom is doing his best to set up a date. Not clear any of them will be asked to volunteer again. Looking forward to the next one. Nancy

I love your work! I don't comment often but i love that you asked for suggestions. #1, monkeys on phones, great concept! but definitely crowded. I do think they could be all in the same piece, but maybe in a concept like a human family, Mom monkey in the kitchen & on phone, Dad at the table, kid watching tv.... If you were to seperate them, I'd play more on the red "emergency" phone, like maybe one on top of a skyscraper, 0r at a fancy restaurant, recieving the important call, or on vacation, or on airplane, one calling from White House, etc.... For your phone, its almost there, just add a shaded outline around your main character, some highlights, & maybe some glitter bling to make her pop out from your background more.

I think the animals on red phones work perfectly. I immediately was reminded of a telemarketer workroom, and the mushrooms, different animals, and random poses perfectly illustrate what it would probably take to spend day after day, week after week trying to convince little old ladies to buy useless widgets or superior home siding services. I interviewed and auditioned for such a job once. I got the job and quit 2 hours in. Even at 17, I had some ethics and self respect. :)

That first phone case with the rabbit reminds me of the cartoon Crusader Rabbit. I don't remember anything about it except that there was a rabbit in armor. I'll bet no one else here remembers it but that image has always stuck in my mind. Anyway, collaging and painting are just the tip of the arts/crafts movement that you will get into (check out Craftivism - I am making journals, painted rocks, and embroidery with a Pro-Palestinian stance right now). That's just the nature of being a crafter. (Is that Half Dome in the background of the last picture you painted, with the deer in the foreground? We had that view camping one time. Love that picture!)

Rosie, the monkeys all talking on phones in the same location is representative to this cultural obsession with personal phones, not sure how the mushrooms fit in, or maybe it's more of a "monkey see, monkey do" phenomina, where the child monkey is doing what he sees the adult monkey do. Also, the warrior bunny in space is amazing!

I think it’s awesome that you are taking creative time just for yourself! Thank you for sharing your gouache paintings. I hope you share more s as you go; I love to watch the development of artists from neophyte to master (or anywhere in between) I find your videos so inspiring! You’ve got me playing around with surreal collage. It’s a very fun adventure! The “telemonkeys” are really great in concept, and I don’t mind them all together on one page at all, but I did find there was a lack of contrast and my eyes struggled to pick out the subjects (I need new glasses so don’t take that too seriously lol). What if you cut out the monkeys and their mushrooms and put them on a different background? I also love the idea of the triptych frames. Ooh! Please show what you decide to do with them.

I'm viewing on my phone. 1. Focal point obscured. First I see the brihht mushrooms, then search and find the phone monkies. The frame idea is excellent. Maybe lose the mushroom/grass. 2. Phone case. Again focal. The 1st one is strong. Hold it an arms length away from you. See. Now do the same with your new one. On my phone I see legs and undistinguishable. Too small. A more solid image would work better. Gouache- lots of new technique. Have fun with it. I'm still in the play zone with it too. 🌟

I have no doubt that whatever you make will be fabulous!!!🎉

Hello Rosie Recently pillaging KZitem for ideas on how I should entertain my grandchildren. Finding your work was enthralling, your dexterity with scissors is something to behold. Watching your work envigorated my mind I should try Collarge as more than just entertaining my grandchildren, hence I am hooked. There are plenty of questions I could ask, and one comes to mind, and this came from a friend asking how you preserve your work, is there a protective surface coating on your completed work?

The only thing is that the top monkey does not have enough contrast with the mushroom, and it took me a while to discover this little thing. The idea of making them separate is good, I like that, but I would still keep this version. Copy it and then separate the copy.

Ant tips on how to avoid bubbles in collages?
@SpeedDemonStar
4 ай бұрын
It depends on the cause. I've found that the type of glue used makes a huge difference. If you're confident in putting stuff down without needing to reposition it, I'd strongly suggest you try Scotch Wrinkle Free Glue Stick. But if you want to be able to reposition the pieces at all after gluing down, I'd avoid this stuff because it does dry VERY quickly. Otherwise, at least in my experience, glue sticks are a lot less prone to bubbles & warping vs liquid, but you should still put on a flat surface to dry, preferably with a heavy book or something put on a tray, on top of your piece to force it to dry flat. Just be careful not to glue the tray/book, etc. to your piece. Hope this helps!
