Is this a packing envelope? They really provide the most wonderful canvas to work on.
Love the cut shapes, as well as all the different types of type. Lovely work!

I have used packing envelopes but I believe this is some cardboard from cutting up a cereal box, or perhaps Ritz crackers

Thanks very much!

The shop shrank to leave clearance for the body of the material enclosed?

You seem to like the letters and digits of products... ...How digits become meaningless when you take them out of their context...

RichardLeach In reply to ConriSade [2011-04-24 18:57:33 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I do, and for just that reason... we know that the letters and digits meant something but we can't tell what it is anymore - I like the feeling of meaning just beyond grasping!

Kudos. The negative space at the top looks like E.T. I sure hope he doesn't get shanked.

Good eye, you're the first to mention that - the "body clearance" should protect him.

ohhhhh
i'm totally blind, how didn't i recognize my own number ???
to tell you the truth, it feels weird seeing my handwriting on your collages

happy to oblige

RichardLeach In reply to partiallyHere [2011-04-22 17:26:35 +0000 UTC]

of course - "that's Richard's work, how can my handwriting be there?"

i really looked at it this morning (or last night ) and i was half asleep, and i saw everything but this!
sometimes the logical mind is not such a good help.

RichardLeach In reply to partiallyHere [2011-04-22 18:03:42 +0000 UTC]

logic tends to see what it already "knows" is there

i suspect bits of your handwriting will be showing up for some time - someone else might use one of those envelopes in a single collage, for me they will go on and on

I recently read hogret's journal on the value of negative space...I am seeing an excellent example of that right here, Richard.

Thanks very much, Yvette. This piece made me smile when I put it together but I wasn't sure how anyone else would see it - my watchers are being generous to it and I appreciate it.

I like the conversation going on in the bottom corner (either that or he's about to bite that guys nose off).

RichardLeach In reply to hummbuzz [2011-04-22 15:00:48 +0000 UTC]

I wondered if anyone else would see that! The blue guy looks slightly concerned

Perhaps he just can't get a word in edgewise...the black one looks quite loquacious.

RichardLeach In reply to hummbuzz [2011-04-22 15:16:40 +0000 UTC]

And that's why the blue one is "materials enclosed" - lots to say but the black one won't listen

Which I did not see when I put this together, of course! So much fun to find these stories.
