Birds in a summer forest is part of my mini-series of four paper collages, each showing three red birds in the forest in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Enjoy!

Birds in a summer forest is a handmade paper collage in portrait format by artist Karen Kaspar. The artwork shows three red birds sitting on slender branches of tall, slender trees. The tree trunks in dark brown tones stand out against the background in lush, vibrant green tones. Dense green foliage surrounds the trees and birds. The tree trunks and branches were painted on paper with acrylic paint and then mounted as a collage on the watercolor background and combined with the watercolor birds. The summer picture is minimalist and conveys a calm, relaxed and peaceful mood. The artwork is part of my mini-series of four collages, each showing three red birds in the forest in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Old crisis hotline handouts dyed with DIY alcohol ink. An exercise in framing interesting areas

Not sure what I’ll do with all these papers

No plan, just asking what if I do X color with Y?

A month of repurposed papers and inks 🌈

I meant to use up old acrylic paints but I haven’t touched them because of this “should be quick” side quest to turn markers into inks

I suddenly remembered I had a YouTube channel that I'd edited a video for back in June and then just didn't voiceover it... Until today.

Wanna see some gelli prints I made in June?

I’m currently busy making monoprints with acrylics on my gel plate, trying to get lots of different colors and textures. I will cut them up to use in some future collages (or at least that’s my plan), so I can never have too many options!

I didn’t think I had such a big stack of papers until I put them together this morning!

It’s maybe 75% of this old training manual?

I’ll take pictures of my favorites when I can

Crazy papers from colored inks. I genuinely didn't like this ink set and I'm happy to be rid of them but they made some great color mix-y magic in places
