Geli squares

A little project that kept me busy for a couple days. 
I had a pile of geli printed papers I had made a few months back
 and decided I would try another style of collage.
 I had already made paper quilts and desired something a little 
more rustic, textured or rough?
I adhered the geli paper to mixed media paper 
and then cut into 2x2" squares. 
I had a nice thick 12x 24" canvas stored so....

I did not want them adhered flat and 
also did not want a smooth appearance,
hence the word rough, so I let the wrinkles 
and curled edges come as they wished, 
and in some cases encouraged.
I finished the sides in geli strips.

It was a fun exercise,
though laborious for sure.

Purists will cringe at the wrinkles etc but 
you've seen my house,
do I care about such things?

Creating is so good for the soul,
my free therapy.
