Hi and welcome back to the Chrissie Murphy Designs Blog. This week’s Magnified Fragment is G1. So without further ado, let’s get into it and have a look at the enhancer we’ll be using. I’ve also included links to some resources you might find helpful for this week.

This Week’s Magnified Fragment is G1
Here’s a quick sketch of what the fragment looks like as a reference for you.
This week’s Magnified Fragment Enhancer is Collage
I hope you’ve got your scissors and glue ready because this week’s Magnified Fragment Enhancer is Collage.
This weeks enhancer was suggested to us by Claudia Caro CZT. Thank you Claudia! I love the idea and think this weeks fragment is great for using this technique
So what is collage? The dictionary defines it as follows:
“a piece of art made by sticking various different materials such as photographs and pieces of paper or fabric on to a backing.”
I’m working with paper and washi tape for mine this week. But you can use whatever you have on hand….
Make sure you check out the links below for some great examples.

Some resources to help you with this week’s Magnified Fragment
First up, check out Kathrin Burmeister on Instagram. Kathrin has been creating some amazing zentangle collage pieces.
And so has Marina Dali, CZT. Check out this post featuring Marina’s Zentangle collage pieces here.
Michelle Casey has a great blog post about combing zentangle and collage. It’s well worth a read. You can check it out below.
Hopefully this gives you some ideas of how to tangle for this weeks fragment.
