Landscape Collage

Erosion, book cover, buckram, paper, glue, encaustic


Over the last month I've finished up a grouping of landscape collage on old book covers. Tattered covers make the best collage surface as they are sturdy, inexpensive and have built-in character. It's much easier to get started when you don't have a pristine surface staring back at you. I unearthed various bits from previous collage binges to create layers of strata, distant horizons and even a mirage or two.
