Illustrated Stories - Chevron In Blue

Hi There. How are you?

I'm back this week to showcase and sell another original work from my collection. This one comes from my Chevron series. Back in 2012 I couldn't get enough of the bold and graphic chevron motif.

Chevron in Blue

This piece measures 10"x10" and was made out of patterned papers that I collected mainly from magazines. During this time, I had a huge hoard of magazines that I would scour over for good bits of color and pattern. This process eventually got too time-consuming, so I switched over to collecting and collaging with scrapbook paper instead. 

After adhering all of the collaged pieces onto the blue background, I drew in some faux "stitching" with a white gel pen. I've always loved the way the white pen pops on a dark surface. (Aww, I'm getting a little nostalgic for my white gel pens. I guess it's time to pull one out and draw with it again!)

This minimalist abstract collage would make a bold statement on a white wall, propped up on a mantle or in a grouping on a shelf. 

Now friends, go and buy this heavily discounted one of a kind collage! Here is the listing:

I had a major chevron phase back in 2012. In fact I think the whole design world was enamored with the chevron pattern at that time. This is one of several collages I created with this bold and graphic motif.

THE DETAILS: This original collage was created with bits and pieces of magazine paper, adhered to a royal blue paper. All pieces are glued onto the paper using a neutral pH PVA adhesive (no yellowing will occur). I then added white gel pen in a stitch like pattern and finished the piece with a protective UVA/UVB coating, so that the papers won't fade over time. This one of a kind collage measures 10" X 10" and is mounted on a 1.5"deep cradled wooden box. With a saw-tooth hanger on the back, it comes ready to hang or can sit on a ledge or shelf.

THE SHIPPING: Your piece will be wrapped in a handmade fabric bag, carefully packaged in a sturdy box, and shipped to you via USPS mail with insurance and a tracking number. I take great care to make sure my pieces are wrapped and shipped securely.

FREE shipping within the US and $10 flat rate shipping everywhere else.

OTHER INFORMATION: Please be aware that while I do my best to photograph the colors true-to-life, all monitors display colors differently, please allow some variation between what you see on your screen and what you see in real life.

Please contact me with any questions.

Stocking up on Smalls


Lately, I have been working almost exclusively in a tiny 4" x 4" format. Because they are so small, I can sell them at a very appealing $40-50 price point.



I'm using all sorts of bright, springy colors and all sorts of patterns. If any of these tiny pieces is striking your fancy, do get in touch. All pieces are mounted on 3/4" deep cradled hardboard panel and are ready to hang. 
 
P.S. This piece is my entry into a contest at Rex Art Supplies. Help me win $100 in art supplies by clicking here and "liking" the photo on Facebook. Thanks much!

Have a fab week! Ta-Ta.
