Regrets – More Than Words August Challenge

Happy August everyone!

Since it is the very first day of the month, I am excited to share my DT inspiration project for August at More Than Words with you.

This month’s challenge is a choice between COLLAGE and COLLEGE, meaning that we can use to make a page using collage techniques OR a page about college.

Collage V College

I do love a collage so it was a no-brainer for me to choose that option for this month’s project.  I pulled out a couple of old magazines to flick through for inspiration and possible images to use and I saw this image of a man who looked quite emotional and it got me wondering why he was so overcome with emotion.  Then I was flicking through an old homewares catalogue and came across some pages of washing machines I wondered if I could use them for my page.  As I thought this, the image of the man from the fashion mag came back to me and I knew I wanted to use him on my page.  Perhaps he accidentally put his red socks in the wash with all his white shirts and now everything was pink!

I covered the page with the washing machine images, then cut out the man (turns out he’s a fashion designer who got a standing ovation at his first show and was quite overwhelmed, but I like my story about the socks better lol).  When everything was pasted in place, I applied some magenta ink and covered the page completely.  Then to finish off I added some paint splashes and splatters.

Let me know what you think in the comments.  As always, thanks for reading!Ingredients
magazine pages, glue, matte medium, acrylic ink, puffy letter stickers
