The Northwest Collage Society has set an interesting theme for its next exhibition -- scrolls. I've just finished my two submissions, and they were truly fun to make. "We Made a Map of the World But We Never Got To Use It" is simple rice paper scroll collaged with newspaper cutouts, tissue and decorative papers, hand-cut paper shapes and thread. The images are abstract, but reminiscent of maps and globes.
"Modern Women" is a cotton fabric scroll created from some old hand-sewn quilting squares, collaged with cut-outs from early 1950's women's magazines. The scroll hangs from a vintage wooden towel holder with hand-painted vegetables dancing across the top.
