I did a similar thing with 1cm strips I cut from magazines. Put them in rainbow order. Then added words cut from the magazines that related to family. Glued on wooden letters to spell FAMILY. Painted the edge black. I have gel prints I could use to make another collage like yours. I also tore up gel prints and made a collage landscape.
I love the sound of your "family" collage ❤️ let me know how it goes if you make it 😀 if I made it again I would paint the canvas black before sticking on the strips 👍
@ painting the canvas gold would work too I think. I like that you left little gaps between the strips. On my magazine collage the strips are tightly packed, but the point was to create a rainbow blend from top to bottom. It took many hours, but I was really pleased with the result. I think it’s time to do some more gel prints to create some more raw material!
LOVE this! Looks great, and I'm thinking I can do something similar from my collection of 'failed paintings'. Is your glue matt or gloss when it dries?
Thank you ☺️ its a good way to use up the fails 😂 I have a draw full of them 😜 The glue is Matt when it’s dry ❤️ I also think I should have painted the canvas black before sticking on the strips it would have been better than having to use a sharpie to fill in afterwards

@ I never thought of gold ❤️ I think that would be better than black ☺️ I will have to give it a go 👍
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊 glad you liked it ❤️
Wow, you’re so creative…you definitely have inspired me to use up some of the MANY Gelli prints I made.
They do mount up 😂 I’m always trying to think of something to do with them 😊
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊 ❤️
