Terrie (Creative Explorer), Lorinda (Everyday Endeavours) and I are all working on making 365 collages in 2013.
We decided to do a little paper swap with each other for inspiration.
Terrie's envelope arrived Friday, and here's what was inside.
With an evening to myself stretching out ahead of me, I sat down to play. I challenged myself to only use papers from the envelope - no supplementing from my own stash.
I finished six collages, and it was only when I scanned and numbered them that I realized I am officially up to date on this challenge!
Here are the results:
There's nothing like new materials to kick start your creativity.
Thanks for a fun evening, Terrie!
You are a genius!!
ReplyDeleteThey are all so wonderful and very creative...I must get into the fun of making collages :)

You always create such wonderful and original collages - so inventive. I secind Lisa's comment, you are a genius, and I learn so much from you.
ReplyDeleteI love this -- people send me ephemera and I do the exact same thing - use what they send me -- fun and challenging. Love what you did.
ReplyDeleteKaren, I love your collages!!!! The composition of the first two really captured me. I sure hope Terrie's package gets here soon!! xoxo (ps...thanks for the lovely comment on my collages tonight xx)
ReplyDeleteI'm doing the 365 collage project, too!! These collages are really textural and varied. Mine are kind of in a rut, but I am inspired to use more kinds of papers now. It's a great idea to swap em like that!
ReplyDeleteWell look what the pile of random stuff I sent you turned into....holy moly, I'm impressed! As I sent it off I'm wondering what the heck you could possibly do with it but I shouldn't have doubted you. I love that you were able to create cohesiveness from randomness and then come up with such great compositions! I'm NOT caught up yet though you and Lorinda are. Guess I better get off my lazy fanny and get busy!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I love the 2nd one, just something about it. And the pink and black palette of third one made me realize I really like that combination - might have to try it!
ReplyDeleteOh how fun. I adore #1...xox
ReplyDeleteWow, K!! Well done! I like #1, 3, and 5 the best for all kinds of reasons, and like Terri C. I realize that I like the pink/black/grey combo, not something I'm usually drawn to! Thanks to you, I am! XO, G
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun project...I love the challenge of using only a small selection of paper/items. I REALLY love your first collage...just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collages! What a smart idea to exchange materials amongst fellow 365ers for inspiration! Looks like it worked!
ReplyDeletehi, i am doing the challenge too, everyone has a different approach......makes it a lot of fun to see what everyone is doing. the first one is my favourite.
