Trading cards, Jan 30 2025. Printed images, original photographs, and birds from a book, image of altered ‘moby dick’ book. Watercolour on paper, collaged, original poetry verses. My first time doing an event like this. I enjoyed it. I’ll do more to take next time, so they’ll be dry. They’re like my assemblages, and roughly the same size. It was fun.
Collage on photocopied playing card. Acrylic paint. I haven’t done the back yet, and they have to be flattened.
I didn’t want to use the original card.
12 cards, I need to do a lot more. They are fun to do. I have a verse to go with them for the back.
Some of the cards I’ve been working on. They’re in several states of being finished and unfinished. Some need verses to go with the images, some, the other way around. More fun than I thought they could be. I particularly like the ‘Dune’ Paul Atreides cards. Altered images and collaged images. Original verse.
‘The moth dreams the moon
in a silky cocoon,
worm-sign,
Atreides,
play ball’.
from love songs from the golden age, #1022 v:14
