365 in 2013: #294 -301 and AEDM #5

Another installment of 365 collages - celebrating fall and birds and painted papers and stitching and......

#294 - Perch  - a book page from a Shakespeare play, printed tissue, stamped tissue, bird (this one is going out in the MMSA bird postcard swap)

#295 - Marysville  - a Thomas Bros map page is the base, the blue is a piece of my gelli print, random papers.  (also mail art going out very soon!)

#296 - Apparently  - black cardstock, scraps, wrapping paper

#297 - Constrained  - I keep a couple of shallow boxes by my collage table and toss in small scraps - warm colors, cool colors, neutrals.  I grabbed the 'warm' box and sat at my sewing machine and just stitched what I pulled out next......kinda fun.

#298 -  Constrained II  - more random piecing and stitching.

#299 - Volcano  - playing w/ shapes .... painted paper, book paper, art postcard, postage stamps

#300 - Stacked  - gifted paper for a background

#301 - Fall Leaf   - simple background of 3 papers (scrapbook, map pg from a pocket calendar and painted) then a pressed & painted fall leaf on a 6x6" piece of cardboard.

That's it for another installment.  I'm always so inspired by Lorinda and Hanna's weekly efforts and how they seem to develop a theme.  Even when I intend that, I rarely can seem to put more than 2 or 3 together that fit a "theme".  This week I'm going to make more of an effort and definitely find a theme.  Just because I haven't done that.

I'm also submitting this for AEDM ....
