Altered Art Projects With Vintage Sewing PatternsHere is another terrific idea for mixed media artists who appreciate vintage materials and want to collage in a retro style.
These wonderful collages were found at http://www.etsy.com/shop/Patsydoll. They are made out of old sewing patterns as well as the front and back covers of the actual packaging of the sewing patterns.
A Variety Of Art Elements To Use
What is nice about using all the different components of the sewing patterns is that you get a variety of different types of papers, elements (such as numbers, letters, writing, figures) and of course a range of colors.
Since vintag
e sewing patterns are very easy to find (especiallyonline) and are very inexpensive, especially packages that are soiled or torn many artists use the original materials when making art. But you could also consider
scanning your images and color copying them for multiple uses.
Collage Mediums
You can use Golden's Gel products for an adhesive or diluted glue.
