Just Saying

Once I had completed my two collages for this month's

charity postcard challenge,

which used only the materials supplied by

February means Februllage

Februllage is organised jointly by

Edinburgh Collage Collective

& Scandinavian Collage Museum.

Each day throughout February

there is a new word prompt

& the challenge is to make a collage.

I will be creating a small tag book..

My aim is to complete a collage a day,

concentrating on the process,

rather than the result.

I have gathered a few supplies,

selected my 28 tags

& made my tag book covers.

Tag Book Covers

For the covers,

I used a thick card base

& two pages from

The 2022 Artist Almanac.

Below is my tag for Day 1.

The prompt was CAT.

Hello

I used an image cut from an old magazine,

a letter cut from a newspaper,

a strip of paper from Collage_This 01

(from Contemporary Collage Magazine)

a leftover from an Artist Almanac page

(which I had used for the front cover),

my own printed day number label,

all on a Martha Stewart tag.

The tag for today is 38mm by 76mm.

The 28 tags vary in size

with the largest being 50mm by 95mm

& the smallest 32mm by 63mm.

In inches that roughly translates to

the largest being 2" by 3.75"

& the smallest being 1.25" by 2.5".

I aim to publish a blog post

on this challenge

at the end of each week.
