Collage Series #9: The Birds Sing a Pretty Song and There is Always Music in the Air

This week i've been working on this little series of collages using some bad monoprints i made a while ago.  They are all a combination of monoprinting on an old music book page, rubber stamping, cut outs from an old sewing book, and machine sewing. I have to send one of these to Andrew for his show in PA.
find them on etsy if you like here.

Weekly Collage Series #3: Communications at Sea

Elizabeth Castaldo
Communications at Sea.  2011.  collage on paper

This is an original piece of art entitled "Communications at Sea", the third piece in my weekly collage series. This collage was inspired by the inside of a security envelope with a wave pattern. so i thought its the water, an interesting scrap of paper became the land, and i added the seagulls and a little section from some sheet music. seagullls dont make the prettiest of songs but lets just imagine. it makes me happy.

The piece measures 6.5 x 7 inches. collage/ mixed media on paper. To purchase click here.
