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.

Blurring the Lines Collage

 A quick analogue collage for the
10 Layer Collage Challenge
with Contemporary Collage Magazine.

The challenge as usual,

create a collage only using the imagery provided.

The substrate is leftover 2mm thick greyboard from

their Vintage Magazine Collage Challenge,

so it measures 21cm x 14.7cm.

It will be interesting to see the variety of collages produced

as everyone taking part will be working with the same ten images,

the resulting collages being either analogue or digital.

Collage_This Journal 2024

I have been using a kraft paper journal

to work with collage material from

Contemporary Collage Magazine.

Each page is 14x14 centimetres. 

I had seven pages left in my journal

so I amalgamated the remaining Collage_This

material to create a series of seven collages.

There is still plenty of collage material left

so I will now add this to other material from

Contemporary Collage Magazine

and begin a new project.

Collage_This 5

Contemporary Collage Magazine publish a limited number

of these challenge booklets with each new edition.

They are sent around the world to 150 collage artists,

with the aim to see how varied the resulting collages are

using identical collage material.

Following on from Edition 4,

I continued to make a series of collages

in my kraft journal.

Each page is 14x14 centimetres.
