Monday Concertina Sketchbook Collage - September

Embracing the enchanting world of purple this month.

​Week 1

Week 2

Week 3





​I like the texture of this purple netting and how it resembles stitching.
I've had this very large netted bag in my box of purple collage material for a long time. At that size, it was just too overwhelming so I'm glad I finally cut a strip off to make it a more collage-friendly size for me to work with.

Week 4

​All 4 panels 

This month I did something a little different with the leftover paper scraps from my concertina sketchbook collage. I made a surprise collage - randomly gluing collage bits onto an entire page in a sketchbook. Turned the paper over so I couldn't see where I was cutting and sliced it into 1.5 x 3-inch rectangles.

It's always a fun surprise to see what you end up with. Some looked great as is, and others needed just a few additions here and there to look finished.
