Collaging...at last

This is my favourite time of year....a time when I can immerse myself in my stash of paper and  found objects, paint and pen...and this year my sewing machine.  I am preparing for the International Collage Exchange.

Coincidentally, Simon Says has a 'lace' challenge and I've been doing some lace stuff.

Poppies and Lace

Femininity

 

Joining Clubs

While  the last one is not strictly 'lace' it sneaks in under the wire as 'lacing' perhaps.

    I love the third one - both the style and the cleverness of it.

    The new year is over two weeks old, but I still wanted to stop by and wish you a Happy New Year!


    Your collages are gorgeous. Love especially the last one!

    Hugs,

    The lace is an unusual supply for you, but these are really fun. That card one takes the cake though - so smart and whimsical and it shows how simple can be so darned effective!

    I love that playing card! What a great idea!
    These are nice. I never thought of lace, but I do use cheesecloth. HA!

    I love art that mixes textures and materials and these are wonderful blends of thread, fabric, paper, found art and paint! I really wish I could learn to work a sewing machine just so I could use it in ways like you have. I hand sew paper and include beads for similar effects but there's something nice about the nice neat lines a machine offers.

    Thanks for joining in our blog party today. Great to have your company :-)
