Love this Sheila!!!! I have been tempted to do it so many times when I wasn’t happy with certain parts of a drawing! Are you cutting them out with an exact knife? How are you attaching them to the page?
@doug Thanks, Doug. I used scissors. I have done a lot of fabric collage and got used to cutting things up :). The idea came back to me with the crabapple drawing that had a very unfortunate mess on one edge. That’s when the scissors came out! These aren’t glued down yet because I want to draw in the faint shadow they cast. I use an archival glue called Natural ph Adhesive by Lineco. I apply the glue with a flat, plastic letter opener. Holding the piece in place and slide the glue under. Moving the pieces around is really fun for me.

Great adhesive technique! Can’t wait to see how this ends up! (Maybe more overlapping elements? Just a thought)
