How It’s Done
All I use for my torn paper collages is paper torn into little pieces and each one placed specifically. There is no paint. Sometimes I add visual texture with printed papers or I color the papers with colored pencils. Occasionally I use a watercolor wash on tissue paper or old sewing patterns and tear it up.

The Glass Swamp
I was given a Chihuly calendar and made this collage (8’x16′) from it’s pages. The colors are so vibrant and the shapes so cool! It is backed with papyrus.

Red Bird Visitor
I found this 1920’s illustration and just had to remake it with more vibrant colors and a song background. The prints are all of pictures of 1920’s fabrics and the paper frame is a picture of a Civil War frame.
