My collages for Collage Mania
Time
Have you ever started cleaning out your junk drawer and the next thing you know you are standing on a ladder painting your kitchen?
That’s what happened here. I started doing detail photos for the Third Thoughts series and I realized they were the perfect size for Collage Mania. So I mounted them on 10×8″ Bristol board – done!
You can see them here at the bottom of the page.
As you can probably tell if you went to look at the Third Thoughts series, it really wasn’t such a linear process. Instead I started looking at details and then found myself purposely avoiding certain areas. That’s never good.
So I took a serious look at all the Third Thoughts artworks and started ripping away and modifying parts that were bothering me. Progress! Then I very judiciously added a few things; suddenly I had a whole new set of stories. Perhaps it should now be the Fourth Thoughts series.
In any case, five collages are set aside for Collage Mania and now the new and improved Third Thoughts series with, oh, yes, that’s right, detail shots, are up and available.
Collage Mania will be May 5-7 with a goal of raising of $20,000 in three days.
Deadline for submission of artwork is April 1, 2009. Guidelines for submissions are here.
Hi Virginia! Thanks so stopping by my blog and leaving a comment, I appreciate it! I’ll be sure to blog some more about the little piece I’m making for collage mania . . . I’m having fun, and it’s so nice to know I’m contributing to a good cause. Thanks for all you do,
