Collage post mortem 4 -- zombie eyes
One day I was making a collage and needed some tiny eyes to paste onto a head that had no features. I found them in an encyclopedia illustration, cut them out and used them in the collage below.
Inspired by your posts, I tried my hand at a little collage. I must ask though, what glue do you use to create yours? I need something better than the drying glue stick I used on mine, if I'm going to continue with this.
ReplyDeleteI have tried many varieties of glue stick and yes, this is a very important part of the process! You want a glue that will go on smooth, not dry too quickly (in the stick) and not ooze out from under the paper.
DeleteI don't like the sticks that start out purple and change to clear. My two favorite brands are Elmer's All Purpose white glue stock and Staples glue stick. All others, no thanks.
Thanks so much. I figured with your experience you probably had worked through the problem glues.
Deleteoh, you're just koo-koo!! Come sit by me!!! This is so quirky and fun and exciting. The braces!!
