Charity Postcard Collage Challenge 2023/2024

As I was reorganising my desk

I came across an uncompleted Postcard Challenge

from Contemporary Collage Magazine.

Using no other paper material

than that included in your personal pack,

the challenge was to make a collage

on each of two blank postcards provided.

My first one which I completed

back in March 2023 is entitled

Guide to Creativity

"Have a philosophy of

being creative and

have room for mistakes"

The second completed this month

is entitled

Call me Bob

"Remember, it's all my fault"

There is always enough

collage material left to play with

so I usually create a grid of nine inchies.

A Particular Situation

Once I had completed the

*Charity Postcard Collage Challenge

in October from

Contemporary Collage Magazine,

there was plenty of material left.

I created a set of collage inchies,

using just the remains of their collage material,

without adding any further media.

A Particular Situation

Each one is on a 1 inch square of kraft card.

I have a growing collection of

leftover collage material, which I will

keep for more collage projects next year.

* Part of the cost of participating in this challenge

is given to charity by CCM.

Charity Postcard Collage Challenge - October 2022

After a six month break,

I've joined in with this month's

Postcard Challenge

at

Contemporary Collage Magazine.

Using no other paper material

than is included in your personal pack,

the challenge is to make a collage

on each of the two blank postcards provided.

An idea usually originates

from a point of interest.

A combination of images make-up

a world of memories and fantasy.

As usual, some of the challenge fee

is donated to charity.

In my mind

Once I had completed my two collages

for this month's charity postcard challenge

from Contemporary Collage Magazine,

I decided to create another set of collage inchies,

again only using the remains of their collage material.

In my mind

Each one is on a 1 inch square of kraft card.

This colour combination is at the forefront of 

my mind at the moment,

so I am pleased that CCM decided to

donate part of the proceeds from this challenge

to UNICEF.

Charity Postcard Collage Challenge - April 2022

Another month,

another Postcard Challenge

from Les & Molly at

Contemporary Collage Magazine.

Using no other paper material

than is included in your personal pack,

the challenge is to make a collage

on each of the two blank postcards provided.

My first one is entitled

CREATIVE CHAOS

It's bold, it's bright,

it's abstract -

it's not my usual style.

The second is entitled

THE FINEST ALL ROUND

Back to storytelling

& muted tones.

I really enjoyed the challenge again,
especially as I know that

I have helped raise money

for a worthwhile charity,

as part of the cost this month

has again been donated to UNICEF.

Entirely Recreated

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

charity postcard challenge,

(which used only the materials supplied by

Contemporary Collage Magazine)

I decided to create another set of collage inchies,

again only using the remains of their collage material,

each one on a 1 inch square of kraft card.

I have quite a few scraps still left.

Just Saying

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

charity postcard challenge,

which used only the materials supplied by

Contemporary Collage Magazine,

I had a few scraps leftover.

I decided to create a set of collage inchies,

again only using their collage material,

on 1 inch square kraft card.

Collage Inchies

Charity Postcard Collage Challenge

Once a month, Les & Molly at

Contemporary Collage Magazine

put together collage packs

for a postcard challenge.

Using no other paper material

than is included in your personal pack,

the challenge is to make a collage

on each of the two postcards provided.

That’s it.

The first one is entitled

LIFE.

Life

The second is entitled

SPLIT PERSONALITIES.

Split personalities

Both were featured in October 2022 digital issue

of the magazine.

I enjoyed the challenge immensely,
especially as I know that

I have helped raise money for a worthwhile charity,

as part of the cost will be donated by CCM to

Art Refuge.
