Traci used the backs of flat rate "boxes" (cardboard envelopes) from the post office as canvases . . . she also uses brown bags like the ones from Trader Joe's . . .
My finished project is my interpretation of Traci's technique especially since I had to leave class early . . . I seem to fall back into the comfort of using stamps . . . I used foam stamps . . .
I think what I gained the most out of Traci's class was the idea that collage is a "fun" activity . . . I enjoyed feeling free of the restraints of trying to make my piece "perfect" . . . I'm thinking that's where she gets the vocabulary "unleashed" and "graffiti" from . . . How cool!!!!! LOL!!!!

Excellent art work!!!!
Wow! What a great collage, Michi! I need to see if I have that book (I bet I do). You did a super job.
Michi, it turned out beautiful!!!! Very thoughtful of you to show what we did these collages on.
You artwork looks fantastic! This does look like a fun project! Thanks for sharing what it was painted on.
I TOO found the mini-workshop to be "freeing"! I came home and made another graffiti collage and later in the week made some graffiti tags/bookmarks.
I loved the tissue paper technique as well! I posted my finished project on my blog too (in case you want to take a look???)
See you at the RSC next month :)
i love what you did. It all turned out just awesome. I have the book also.
