On The Lookout - Chine Colle

This chine colle print is titled "On The Lookout". I created this for the vintage themed journals. I used various vintage papers then applied the Gelli Plate to the overall page. Definition of Chine Colle - Well, chine-collé is a special printmaking technique in which paper of a different color or texture is adhered to the overall piece. The paper, usually in pre-cut shapes, is actually bonded to the heavier support paper of the print in the printmaking process. It is not just glued to the print as a collage element.

Sewing Configuration Box IMG 0464

Sewing Configuration Box IMG 0464.
#creativitybysandrafoster #configurationbox #sewingconfigurationbox #sandrafoster I created this sewing themed configuration box using vintage sheet music and other papers. I took a week to do as I just seen pictures of them and wanted to try making a custom size one to fit a few of the contents. I had no pattern to follow. I found it very enjoyable to make even though it involved some math. It now resides in my sewing room.
