AJC 2014 digital collage #1

Tangie is doing the Art Journal Caravan one last year and then it'll all be over. Right now the cost is $39.95 which you get back in the form of credit to use in her shop. If you like to do digital journaling, or want to get started in it, this is a deal you shouldn't pass up.

I recently made my first collage using the initial kit you get when you sign up. When I don't do it for a while, I forget how much fun digi collaging is. You can't make a mistake - the ink never runs, the paper doesn't tear, the glue stick doesn't get all over the place (or is that just me?) - and you can try any number of effects before settling on the ones you like best. It's very cool.

There's no deep meaning to this piece (I don't do deep), I just used elements I liked and played around with blending modes, levels and hues until it seemed 'done' to me.

Double click to embiggen the collage so that you can really see the detail.

  1. Love it! I also signed up for that and this week plan to play with it and attempt to remember what to do -- should have asked for pointers last weekend! LOL Love the dark richness of your spread!

  3. WOW - love this! I've been contemplating how I want to approach this year in terms of art commitment - what I want to accomplish, etc. and one of the things I've missed is digital playing. Your collages remind me why - this is great!
