On a roll... (L. Doctor inspo)

I got SO many ideas from just Day 1 of Laurie's class! I did another sectioned piece I'll share later, but for now, here are 4 separate strips of paper i combined for one of my poems (entitled "Nature Glimmers").

I have a lot of scrap strips I don't know what to do with, but have been saving them, as I see so many cool collage pieces online, and I have no idea how to piece together (but NOW i do!)  😁 Yay!

My poem includes nature glimmers for each season, so I took strips that I thought represented them best (color-wise). I also tried using fonts/hands that would represent each season the best. Not sure I did that for all, as I was too excited, so some may get redone in the future. (But I gotta say, i LOVE the winter one...more on that below.)

Close up of spring and summer.

For spring, I tried using fun lettering to exude the excitement of warmer temps, and the new greenery of everything. Summer was bright colors, also to depict heat, while fun too (with neons).

Close up of Fall/Winter.

*I still have to color in the leaf (AND not sure where or how I'll paste.)

For fall i used brush lettering and jewel tones, then for Winter, this lovely blue-gray paper that had markings already on it. I decided on pointed pen and metallic ink.

The winter piece was a scrap of paper testing white inks. I thought the strokes were perfect to represent winter at times. I also added dots of glitter glue for accents.

Not liking the bottom part as much, as I used a grey extra-fine point Posca, and it blends in too much. But that also represents the dreary grey of winter.

(I would post my entire poem on here, but I'm not ready to share yet. Maybe someday!) 😉
