collage box

I signed up to be included in a collage box swap through LaWendula quite a while ago.

The box just showed up!

I have never done anything like this and thought it would be an interesting way to

challenge myself with new materials, etc

dopey me didn’t realise how much paper would be involved

uh.......I know.......what else would there be?!

I think I was thinking there would be all sorts of different materials

fabric, ribbons......

but, of course, most collagers (if that is a word)

would be using all sorts of different papers and things

anyway; this is what I found in the box

so, the deal is now I take 12 pieces out of this box

and put in 12 of my own

below are the things I took out

and here is what I added!

thought I would do a mixture of fabric and paper

there’s also a bit of bark, which I thought might interest someone

(upper left of photo)

a green feather, button, and a fabric heart

hope the next people to receive the box find

my things interesting

at first, I thought I was just taking things out of the box

and using them however I wanted

but upon reading the rules a bit closer;

I am to make one collage with all the bits I chose from the box

this might be a bit more difficult

only because as I chose things, I was thinking of using them

in several different projects

I can also add other things to the piece

this should be interesting

something different for me to think about and work with

have a lovely weekend

and thanks for dropping by
