I took three of the collages that I shared last week and mounted them onto wood panel canvases so that they could easily be hung up and displayed.
I worked very hard to bring the patterns and colors from the collage on the front, around to all four sides.
It wasn't easy to match up parts and pieces, but I think it really adds to the overall effect.
It was complete luck that I had an extra scrap of that large black painted script paper. And it was total serendipity that it lined up so nicely. Thank goodness for happy accidents!
Here's a peek at the three canvases together:
I think I'm going to slowly work my way through mounting many more of these collages because I love the way they turned out!
Thanks for stopping by!

They look awesome and I still wonder how your wall space expands itself when you have new art to hang. LOL

They are beautiful, Julie! I would love it if you could share with us the process you use to mount the collages on wood.

These look great! Thanks for showing us — makes me think about what I might want to do with some of mine, seems a shame to just keep them in a big bin when they could be giving my room some color! Thanks for the inspiration!

I love your canvases! It seems such a simple concept. I think I will have to try that. I want to work with canvases but I’m afraid to. I don’t feel like I’m a good enough artist but I can certainly make collages. Thank you for sharing!
