I started doing collage work recently and find so many possibilities with it. It's a really cheap medium as well. Here I made use of a mask, scraps of paper, a varnish and glue combo and a board. The following pics show my progress at various stages:

I plan to do quite a few more collage pieces.
Thank you and I hope this is somewhat inspiring to others.

This is an excellent art because it is both creepy and beautiful. The creepiness comes from the mask because I always find them a little haunting and the beauty comes from what you did to it, very nice and creative :).

It's a really nice piece, the third eye was a nice touch. My father-in-law did a couple collage/functional art pieces, one had a similar look, it was part of an entertainment center. I think what really set this piece off was the crossword puzzles. lol, it would be something to encode a message on the crossword pieces.

The third eye was done purely by chance, lol. I only noticed it later. I would love to see his work. Thank you for your time to comment. Much appreciated.

howdy from Texas jmvanbreda! this was indeed inspiring. I didn't know people were doing this type of art so this is very different and interesting.
So you just buy a mask and have some newspaper or magazines laying around for your main material, then you use your imagination and follow the instructions and start creating, I like that.
And you have done many of these which you will put on posts?

Hi there. I have made a couple so far. 3D collage is actually a thing I only recently discovered. I will post a few more posts with my collage work. It's fun experimenting with mixed media. Thank you for your interest.

howdy back sir jmvanbreda..yes it's a very unusual and interesting medium to work with so thank you for enlightening us!

[jmvanbreda]

No problem. Have a lovely day.

All art is subjective and this doesn't really do it for me to be honest but what i can appreciate is the skill that went into making the project. It's great to have a passion for something and the ability to follow through on it.
I just wouldn't hang it on my wall as it has a hint of serial killer to it :)

[jmvanbreda]

I appreciate your thoughts. Serial killers are people too, lol.

Your thoughts. Serial killers

Absolutly and a lot of them tend to be very artistic as well. John gacy, Charles manson even Hitler. Starting to see a pattern here actually....hmmm
