365 collages

I had a slight set back this week as I recovered from the flu, but I did get a few done toward my goal of 365 collages this year (inspired by Hanna).

I started by making two collages on 4x6 index cards using ONLY little scraps from my box of miscellaneous leftover tiny scraps. I set myself the 'rule' I could only change the size of one per collage (fudged it a little) - I started with the pile below.

This is what I was left with....the larger pieces and two collages I actually kinda like.

 The next few were worked in my Restraint journal.


the 'base' collage on the file folder
 I decided I need a more organized place to keep my incoming mail art so I can make sure I return mail to everyone so I collaged the front on my pocket file folder in a "landscape" using magazine only paper (ala Lorinda).


This gets me through #21 though the date is the 28. A little catching up to do.........

    Very inspiring, Terrie. I think I need to do some tiny scrap collages too. Heaven knows I've got plenty of tiny scraps! I really love the one in your restraint journal with the green flower on top. Glad you're feeling better!

    Oh I love them all, fun use of the scraps which seem to multiply at an alarming rate. Quite graphic and bold. I found a bunch more old file folders, love these and they would make great tags cut up too! xox

    Awe Terrie your collages are fabulous sweetie. I love that you have set yourself 'rules' for the first 2, did it help?? Lol I get carried away with the 'procrastination' way too often when I am trying to collage, maybe some 'rules' would help me more!!
    Hope you are feeling lots better now too.
    Huge hugs x x
