Found Poetry, continued

I have only two examples of Found Poetry in this module and they aren’t quite finished yet, but not far from it. I am at the stage of connecting the words and adding some collage. I had difficulty with adding collage earlier in this year. as the acrylic paint was added via gel plate to some paper, or tissue, and this was collaged to the original thesis page. I wasn’t very successful with this, but I’m hoping to try it again with another type of strong tissue paper. I made some attempts with this tissue paper and the paint is drying now (early morning 25th June). I’ll have to get some more thesis pages prepared.

I started 3 more today (27th June) I’d like to get a few more underway by the weekend.

The text for FP1

The rough surf should be scattered from the table.

The solution was to accept the small variations from the nominal version.

The normal effect of ale made the beam stop at random.

Found Poetry1 with selected words covered and paint from the gel plate on top

Some of the covers came off, but were replaced for the next layer of paint. The orange board works better than the acetate as a cover.

Final version, with acrylic paint and collage paper.

Text for FP2

Damage to the head was done with the cold finger which held the pulse.

Amber was a great mate for Crystal.

The light in the centre of the beam can be seen taking off for a final dip.

Text for FP?

There is a unique relationship between mental energy and powers of observation. Ziegler and Andersen’s good quality rum was detected arising from the rear surface and scattering from the rear surface at random.

Collage Paper

I’ve been making some Collage Paper from strong tissue paper using a gel plate. acrylic paint and a few paint marking things and some templates. I have 21 pages of collage paper made in the last few days, but not very varied.

I’ve only used a few bits and pieces except for 16, where I’m doing a cutout of the words and sticking them on top of the collage paper.
