Monday Concertina Sketchbook Collage - January

1/31/2023

3 Comments

 

My Monday sketchbook collages continue but with a twist this year. 
I wanted to do something a little different this year so I've decided to use a concertina format. I made one strip of paper for each month and each strip has either 4 or 5 panels depending on how many Mondays are in the month. Each of the panels is 5" x 5".

As I work I'll let papers hang over the edge to the next panel and leave the option of integrating them into the adjacent collage the following week.

I'll be pondering how I want to bind the strips into a book at the end of the year.

​After finishing 5 weeks of collages I still had so many scraps of orange and green papers left. Out came one of my other sketchbooks and in a short time I completed another few pages of collages. These are all 3-5 minutes speed collages.

Hi Kathy! I just read and saw your cool monthly collage. Love the colors, elements. It looks like you’re mixing eco prints with other papers. Awesome. I do like the concertina and I made my very first book using this book type. I enjoyed making it about my Sisses. Anyway trying to envision how you’d sew these together. I really enjoy your art. It inspires me and gets me going. I may start a December month collage. And then get into it in January. So many ideas and never enough time or so little time for art making. Bummer! How do you deal with this? Thanks again. Linda from Saint Louis

Hi Desain, I didn't make a sketchbook to work in for 2025. I've been working on squares of watercolor paper, so I guess that makes them just a 'Monday collage' now : )
