Collage Playing Cards

 Update on my collage project started in March.

Using playing cards as my substrate

& collage material from

Contemporary Collage Magazine

with additional newspaper lettering.

Milestone

Until

A bit of nonsense

Drip Drip Drip

Unbelievable

Altered Reality

The Art Deal

Pointless

Watch out

Word Salad

Parallel Universe

Tick Tock

Success

Ready Steady Go

The Art of Rage

 During Februllage 2025,

I used an old pack of playing cards

as the substrate of my 28 daily collages,

which left me with 24.

Too few to keep for next years challenge,

so I thought I would use them

for the odd collage here and there,

throughout the rest of the year.

Here is the first.

I used material from

Contemporary Collage Magazine 

with additional lettering

from my newspaper clippings.

Februllage 2025 Week One

 It's been a few years since I last took part in the yearly Februllage event.

        Februllage is organised jointly by

    Edinburgh Collage Collective

    & Scandinavian Collage Museum.

        Each day throughout February

        there is a different word prompt

     to inspire your collage.

       This year I am working on an old set of playing cards.

        My aim is to complete a collage a day,

        concentrating on the process,

        rather than the result.

Day 1: Trees

Day 2: Shell

Day 3: School

Day 4: Dice

Day 5: Chaos

Day 6: Metal

Day 7: Neighbourhood

Care December 2024

 

I took part in the Care December event again this year,

hosted by Kasia at Everything Art.

I made a journal with just enough pages for the fifteen prompts.

The theme this time was

PINK.

So glad that I made time on each of the fifteen days

to take a moment for myself.

Even though I began on 20th December,

every day I spent a few precious moments

to consider the daily prompt

& make a collage in my handmade journal.

I included papers from members of my family

to make this year's event extra special.
