Extinct Library Card Collage

I’ve been collecting library cards from books in various libraries who no longer use them.
I finally got ahold of a canvas (albeit a cheap one that does not hold proper color) and did up a scene based on the book titles.

I have not done collage for several years and forgot how much acrylic paint covers the words so I lost a couple of key titles. Oh well.

This is beautiful and creative. I love how you pieced the words around and painted just enough over them that they almost get lost. Having the extra layer also makes for some great texture!

There’s something subliminal in the way the words blend in! The finished picture is very happy. I want to sit on that boulder in the meadow.
