Sheet- Development


I made the decision to collage for Sheet, above is a collage that has got into Sheet issue 4. I really like how busy the collage is and how it almost looks like a mirrored kaleidoscope, with elements of fashion, cartoon, and fun. I also really like how the background of the collage is on grid paper, a simple yet effective decision. 


As this collage is Christmas related I wanted to include a reindeer however I didn’t have any primary images of reindeer so I decided to turn my donkey patch into a reindeer using sparkly pipe cleaners. I scanned in some holographic paper in and I was surprised by the pattern and colours it gave off when scanned in, I decided to use this somewhere with the collage as it looks quite Christmasy. I needed to add more colour into the collage so I decided to use carrots as the background as they are associated with reindeer. Once I layered up the carrots, donkey and holographic paper it didn’t feel Christmasy enough, so I cut out some holly and trees for that added Christmas.
