More Paper Quilt Collages & Drawings

I had stopped making the Paper Quilt Collages that I was working on a few months ago. I enjoyed the drawing aspect of it, but making the paper quilts appealed to me less. After thinking about it I realized that it was the structure of trying to make the collage quilt-like that I no longer enjoyed. I liked the collage element and especially drawing the finished collage. I made a few more anyway with quilting in mind because I had some materials I thought would go with that theme, then I focused less on the quilt aspect. To recap, the collages are on the right and the drawings are on the left. Right clicking the image will open it in another window so it can be seen better.

The first few of these are more in the style of the non-traditional Gees Bend Quilts. The materials are: bar codes and insides of envelopes. To recap, using materials from whatever was handy (out of necessity) was part of the Gees Bend way of making quilts

The next few are also quilt like but they are more in the traditional quilt style of squares. The blue and orange one is from a torn up painting. The black and white one, which is a favorite, is from a very old textbook on weather. The collage images are magnified views of ice crystals. It was especially fun trying to draw this because the challenge was making marks that mimicked the variety of the ice crystal images.

Now these last two are of no reference at all to quilts. They are just collages I made then drew.
