Question

In what way you can help in preserving our nature when you create an assemblage?

Answer 1

Answer:

Beginning an assemblage can be daunting, especially if you’re surrounded by lots of disparate pieces that don’t seem to work together. Lynn Krawczyk shares some helpful tips on how she approaches creating an assemblage in the article “Deconstructed Assemblage” in the September/October 2011 issue of Cloth Paper Scissors. She says, “Choose a large focal element that defines the theme of the piece, select 2–3 smaller elements that relate to your theme, and then fill the spaces in with complementary details.” If you want to include an element and it doesn’t quite fit, Lynn says she often colors and alters pieces to fit her theme while waiting for paint or glue to dry on another piece. So . . . it may be wise to take another look at the some of those pieces you’ve already decided won’t work.
