Harness the power of paper collage to generate abstract designs. This 2-hour introductory presentation explores: fragmenting text; isolating and highlighting areas of interest; playing with enlargement, exaggeration and distortion; coalescing lines and shapes; converting 2-tone designs into colour; and digital tools. Zoom 1 is in Wednesday afternoon US/Canada time and Zoom 2 is on Thursday morning UK/Europe time. Includes 30 day access to the recording.

Thanks to @peppermintpatcher and @the.skyelife for Thanks to @peppermintpatcher and @the.skyelife for sending me photos from “Opposites”, the @saqaart Oceania Regional exhibition currently on display at the Craft & Quilt Fair at Darling Harbour in Sydney until tomorrow afternoon (Saturday 18 July).

Night and day are often framed as opposites: darkness and light, moonlight and sunshine, rest and activity, asleep and awake. However, night and day can also be viewed as interdependent forces in a continuous cycle. Each defines and deepens the other. Day brings outward motion, visibility and engagement, while night offers inwardness, reflection and renewal. Together they create a
rhythm of life. Night and day function as a continuous pulse,reminding us that balance is not found in opposition but in the steady movement between them.
