This collage of "inchies" I created from following steps in Claudine Hellmuth's, Collage Discovery Workshop book. My background paper was created by peeling paper to give an aged look, then I took masking tape to the paper and peeled off other sections. If you have not tried this, you should. I had a lot of fun seeing what stays on and what peels off. If the paper you peel off has a picture, most likely you will see this after you peel a top layer of paper off. I then used acrylic paints and washed with water to give splash of color.

I worked on more little "inchies" today. This Paris piece, I began by experimenting with different paper stock, collage elements, acrylic paints and added dimensional items.
