I'm happy to say I'm totally on track with the index card challenge and I'm only 32 days behind on my 365 collages challenge.
To close the gap on the 365 challenge, I'm making two collages a day, and at least one is on an index card. Here's what I've been up to:
To close the gap on the 365 challenge, I'm making two collages a day, and at least one is on an index card. Here's what I've been up to:

| Orange collage using magazine images and gum packaging |

| I had a bunch of these circles (punched from my own marbled papers) leftover from birthday garlands I'd made in March. They were still sitting next to my sewing machine so I stitched them willy-nilly onto an index card. |

These look great! It's always good to get rid of the stuff that's lying around one's workspace isn't it? And if you can do something pretty that's even better! The last two are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteEvery one is such a delight!
