They don&#8217;t happen really quickly, they take time and lots of pondering of each little composition.  Today, I\u2019m posting another 6 paper collages with another 6 still to come. This set is again very colourful. I do like lots of colour. The surfaces are a collection of painted papers, very colourful tissue, bits of pattern papers and even some seeds. The images of seeds are from photos of seeds in our garden. I had a bit of fun taking those photos and manipulating them to high contrast images which ended up being a nice source of texture in the collages. These collages are built up in layers, each layer attached with matte medium onto the paper and then onto the next layer.  I will be posting these as well on our <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/FoundMadeArt\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Etsy shop FoundMadeArt<\/strong><\/a>.  They are priced quite affordably and we also offer Free Shipping anywhere.  I&#8217;m hoping they find homes either alone or in groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, here is my second set of abstract collages. I haven\u2019t given them titles. I like the idea that each one is left to be interpreted by the viewer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
