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.
