Making a collage, the hard way.........mini-tutorial

I don't know why, but lately it is a struggle to make something creative. Perhaps it is the winter fatigue or because my mind is too busy. Here you can witness my struggle in a mini-tutorial:

Step 1:
Making up my mind.....I like to see paintings or pictures of sisters, the expressions of faces, the love or hostility they show. I found an old picture of me and my sisters an used it as an inspiration for my work.

Step 2:
Collecting materials. I am always collecting all kind of materials, to despair of my housemates. My attemps to organize often fail.

Step 3:
Making different designs and making pictures.

Step 4:
Choosing one of the designs. So many doubts and choices just like in real life.


Step 5:
Making a surface for my collage on acidfree board:

Next blog post you will see the result.
