brillant et bleu un moment
Title from a line of poetry, author unknown to me: "Brillant et bleu un moment, froid et gris ensuite." "Bright and blue one moment, cold and gray the next."
All images from 1000 Butterflies: An Illustrated Guide to the World's Most Beautiful Butterflies, by Adrian Hoskins. I have a new respect for how butterfly wings are engineering marvels.

Upside Down and Round and Round.
I got really confused with this theme, and at the last minute, suddenly realised I didn't know which way up to post this! I think this might be best, but still keep changing my mind.

Front & Back
I must say this collage challenge flummoxed me.
(I have been thinking too hard about it, I suspect.)
The lady in the leotard comes from a vintage beauty & exercise book I happen to own two copies of. So I cut her out twice.
That is her front and that is what is printed on the back of her!

The Collagist.
Found a pic of the collagist in question, Lucy Williams, in a fashion supplement that the man in the corner-shop gave me, and so am using it for this week's free-for-all theme. The article showed seven artists in their studios. Lucy Williams has sustained several injuries from collaging, including dropping a cutting-knife on her foot. Ouch!
Be careful out there, Kollage Kitters!

Mirage Collage
I've been too busy to get busy making new collages.
This is from the archives, made for a couple of friends who own
a Rhodesian Ridgeback dog (pictured).
Photo Shoot on Cadillac Mountain
Not sure I ever posted this collage on The Kollage Kit. Created it for a friend a couple of years ago. The men are from a vintage Sears Roebuck catalogue.
King Tinto Bites The Numbers
Found an old atlas recently in a charity shop and have started to use the pages for a series of Schwitters inspired collages using the bits on the floor and in the rubbish bin.

Stephen & Nettie & their Falabella
Found antique cabinet card photograph.
Folks identified on reverse as Stephen & Nettie Maynard.
Folks identified on reverse as Stephen & Nettie Maynard.
The miniature horse is known as a Falabella.
Country of origin: Argentina
The Falabella miniature horse is one of the smallest breeds of
horse in the world, seldom taller than 8 hands in height at the withers.
The Falabella, despite its size, is not considered a pony, but rather
is a miniature horse.
broken and rough-hewn humanity
FYI my KK colleagues: the hubsand and I will be going up to our "farm" in way-rural Pennsylvania for a couple of weeks, so I'll be off the Net and out of touch.
Theme: Free For All
Into the new month and we'll start with the "non-theme"
- we haven't done this for a while.
Free to do whatever takes your fancy.
