Hello All.
Collage fodder is a new term to me, but I think I finally understand what it is after doing the Fodder Challenge course. Leaca Young sketches, paints and cuts out from magazines mainly botanical images, and she showed us how she uses these as focals in her art journal pages, along with painted scraps of collage material.
I made a page with a piece of the muslin fabric I painted recently, a piece of vintage music sheet, and some water colour leaves that I outlined with a black gel pen. I used some Tim Holtz phrase stickers to create a little story.
The background is made up of round teabag papers, with some black marks added.
I'm linking my page to Alison's Summer Countryside theme at Art Journal Journey.
Thanks for visiting me today,

The painted muslin adds so much texture to this page Alison. And the scallop tea bag edge is pretty too. This is a great page for Alison's challenge. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely collage fodder, Alison. I like your page even better than the instructor's. I was surprised the background was composed of teabags until I saw the close-up. I really like the many layers you created. This turned out great. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us at Art Journal Journey using Alison's theme.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous page, so much beautiful texture, love the earthy colour, too. Have a great day, take care, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for joining us at AJJ again!
Awesome layers and that term 'collage fodder' is a new one to me as well. Thank you for linking this fantastic page to the AJJ theme.

Beautiful
ReplyDeleteCollage fodder is a new term to me as well, but I like it! I like your page too, Alison, the colors go so well together (and are some of my favorites) and I like the animal print mixed with the cool of the leaves panel and the texture. Looks like you got an A+ in that class!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful page! I love how you painted the muslin and layered the pretty teabags and sheet music - perfect 😁. Happy Friday and weekend! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteWay Cool - Enjoy Your Weekend

Oh this speaks to me! And it's saying WOWzers! Good job! Yes, well, collage fodder has been around, not a new term, comes from this I suppose: "Art Fodder is all the mementos that people save - ticket stubs, photographs, labels, postcards, stickers, wrappers, maps, photocopies, etc. etc." What we used to call ephemera and now incorporates the ephemera of our daily lives. I think of it as the stuff I don't wanna throw away, thinking I can do something with this pretty. And everyone's fodder is unique to them! I like folks who use their own stuff and don't try to copy others' ephemera. Like, why even use it in your art if it's not personal to you>???? xoxo
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteYou can probably already guess how much I love this page! Such a delicate duck egg blue for the leafy stems and the grungy, rusty tones of the textural background - a treat. Thanks so much for joining us in the Summer Countryside at Art Journal Journey.
