COLLAGE IN MOTION

Today's the day I plan on getting back to my fabric collage. I have been away too long. This picture shows two I started but never finished. Maybe I will get around to it today or soon. I seem to start a lot of projects I don't finish. Sound familiar? I also, really want to start writing in my blogs more. More and more I see the importance in this for me. Especially my mental health! HA!

Guess, I will start dragging my creativeness out now. More later.

Still Sewing Collages

I am still at it as you can see. Seems everyone is pulling at me from so many places, there just aren't enough hours in the day. It's my own fault, I know I just tend to take on too much and my mind wants to do more than my body can. It's just the artists way, I am told. Anyway, I enjoy everything I do and that's what counts in life, isn't it?

Fabric Collage

Here are some things I worked on today. I felt like getting my trusty old sewing machine out and giving it some use today. I hope you enjoy them.

Boxes

Here are some boxes I did not too long ago. One is a vintage image, one is of my mother, and the other is my aunt and uncle on their wedding day in 1947. I am always doing something to boxes, I hate throwing them away, when it seems something useful can be made from them.

Sea Collage Art Dolls

Here are some Sea Collage Art Dolls that I thought I'd share today. As the weather starts to warm I get anxious to work with shells and do beach related art. Enjoy!

Tis The Season To Collage.

I love collage even more during the fall and winter months. They are my favorite times of the year. Call me crazy, but something about the hot weather being over revives me. I love the smell of the wood stoves burning, seeing the colorful leaves falling, and the brisk days. I am happy to be able to live in a place where I can truly see the season colors. When the snow comes, the little that I get, maybe 6-7 days a year, I am like a child waiting for Santa. I get up many times, through the night to see if it's here yet. I know those of you that get tons are cursing me now, or are surely thinking me nutty, but I am a former So Cal girl that had never seen snow fall before moving here so bare with now!

Now back to collage, the real thing I intended to talk about today...

Such A Pretty Sight!

When you don't know what to do with small scraps of trim that is too pretty to throw away, just collage it around a tag and hang it in your sewing room or shabby chic or vintage home. Such a pretty sight!

Vintage Poker?

I don't ever play, but I couldn't resist making these on a ton of vintage chips I discovered lately. Now I can't stop they are so fun to do. People say I will collage anything, and I am beginning to think they are right. If it isn't bolted down, I will have at it. Enjoy your day and don't forget to collage something!

Fondly, Nancy
