Back in March I sent a piece to a mail art show in the Netherlands. I liked that piece, which was titled "Self Mailer: Address Unknown," so much that I decided to try to recreate, re-capture it in some way. Didn't turn out exactly like I intended. This group of photos shows steps along the way -- gluing, scraping, rearranging, scraping, sanding, glazing and on and on. In the top left corner is the original mail art piece. In the bottom right corner is the final…

pictograms
The abstract comics blog has a reference to Warja Lavater's book of pictograms. Not collage, but it seems to me there is a collage-like feeling to many of them. The book contains pictographic stores she made from the mid-1970s to the mid-90s. A few sample pages can be seen here: http://www.nieves.ch/catalogue/warjainside.html

What other collage sites do you visit?
I know of some but I’m wondering if there are other sites that members visit, other than peoples’ individual web sites, that is. Many of the ones listed below (and I hope I’m not duplicating someone else’s efforts) have been mentioned other places here on Collagist but I thought I’d try to get them together in one place. Of course, any comments I add are my own preceptions.

Thanks for the welcome! I am going to have fun exploring the site I think..
All of the lines in "Myth" are stitched. I do not draw or paint in the traditional sense on the surface.

Hi, Ken, I use a couple of coats of gesso on the BFK every time. I also use a profesional grade wallpaper paste (only kind that seems to work for me) to glue BFK onto birch panels mounted on stretchers, then work on that. The most important thing for me is that the support is hard, not flexible like canvas. Otherwise, I can't get good gel medium transfers to work very well. When I work on unmounted BFK I pin in it right to the studio wall and work standing up. The panels you are using sound really good!
