6. HANDS ON


Scissors. If it wasn't for Design 101 I would not know. My favorite scissor is missing. My guess is that that I threw it away with wasted paper on my last collage session in September. Now I must buy another one! Oh, yes, I never have enought scissors. The big blue one I found on the street! The short one I bought for my nephew. He did some collage with me. It can cut paper but it's soft with a child's hands. The black and yellow is my favorite now hence the petite one is gone.:(


I use scissors to do collage. I was first fascinated by a collage of Picasso. It's Femme nue allongée. I saw it in a museum in Paris.


But that emotion wasn't enough to fuel me. I never tried collage until recent years. It started maybe after 2004. Collage was total addiction for several months. Now I don't do it so often.

This is a collage made by my nephew Gabriel when he was 4 years old.
Now he's 11 years old and prefers to play video games.

FEEDBACK!! ( On iversity platform)

iversity platform is a bit tricky. Some people left comments on my scissor's photo but I can't track the comment to its origin!

I like the idea that you have taken your collection and made them into art. Why didn't I think of that???? You have inspired me. Thank you.

:o)

Nice composition :)

I like all of them.scissor maniac, you are not alone :)

I'm a fan of collage, specially the traditional one, It' s more kinetic...nice collection!
