Bugs, beetles and butterflies are a few of nature’s most colourful creatures. As such, they make great topics for cloth collage. I made dozens of them in my earlier collage years, getting all types of collage apply alongside the best way.
As a result of I used to be framing most of those “specimens,” they have been on the smaller facet—let’s say placemat-ish form of measurement. Now I understand how enjoyable it’s to “go massive” and draw bigger scale topics with the intention to have extra room to play with coloration and visible texture. I encourage my college students to go massive as properly, and provides them the permission to “coloration outdoors the strains” relating to topics resembling bugs (or fish). Is it extra essential to recreate a specific species, or fairly use your creativeness to create your individual distinctive crawly? The reply lies in your material—how does it encourage you with colours and patterns?
In as we speak’s Throwback Thursday, you’ll discover a gallery of examples of various bugs and butterflies I’ve created—lots of which you could find patterns for HERE—resembling “Highlight Beetle,” above.
