THEME: "FREE FOR ALL"

Have at it! I am grateful for cooler temperatures -- my studio will be much nicer to work in. Welcome autumn! Also I would be willing to do ONE MORE MONTH of picks.

TOGETHER: Betty and Her Brussels Griffon Were Inseparable

I am not sure that I ever posted this collage, which I made for someone, to the Kollage Kit. However, after I made it, I could not part with it and it is one of the few collages that I have on display in my home. It's funny, I've made hundreds and hundreds of collages, but only a handful are my favorites. But, I guess that is to be expected.
 

TOGETHER They Were an Incredible Force that Changed Music and the World

 

I have never posted a collage before that I did not glue down. HOWEVER, those are my Beatles "bubble-gum" trading cards from 1964 and I did not have the heart to glue them down. I keep my deck of cards on display in my work space...always handy...to relive my 12 year old (and life-long) crush on the lads!

Together: Silent Era Zoom Call

At the start of the year, not many people had heard of Zoom. Now, it's the way to get together in these troubled modern times. Just wondered what it would have been like if the stars of 100 years ago had the technology (with the audio muted of course). :D

Together - Men and Chickens

 

Eating together

 

TOGETHER - Bill and Fred's Hubcap Collection

This collage started out for the previous theme of SIZE and I was thinking of having a giant bug of some kind in that room with someone trying to catch it in a big net or a giant tumbler.  We recently had a rogue grasshopper in our front room that somehow got in ( down the chimney?) and we managed to catch it when it landed on my lap as I watched television!  Anyway, the next theme turns up and so I had to think again. I will still keep the grasshopper idea on the back burner though!
 

THEME: Together

Wherever we go, whatever we do, we're gonna go through it together...

How much togetherness have we had during the pandemic? 

We go together like hand and glove.

Together we are strong.

What can you picture as together?

Size: "Hey, Big-Foot! Act your age, not your shoe size."

Size - Big Skunk Dunk

 

Monumental to Bob's well-being were a well-stocked bar, his favorite pipe and lounging in his undies

 

SIZE - Teeny Weeny

 

THEME: Size -- "Do Not Disturb My Circles!"

 

"Nōlī turbāre circulōs meōs!" is a Latin phrase, meaning "Do not disturb my circles!". It is said to have been uttered by Archimedes—in reference to a geometric figure he had outlined on the sand—when he was confronted by a Roman soldier who ultimately killed him.

That’s a big one!

 

SIZE - New York - Bee Invasion

 

THEME: Size

 "Mine is bigger than yours!" ... "That is the tiniest I have ever seen!"  ... And what is in-between? This one should be a lot of fun and open to a lot of interpretations.

David's Blue Space

"I'll be with you in a moment, Darling, as soon as I locate my lipstick..."

Carmine was always misplacing her makeup.

It wasn't hard to figure out Violet's favorite color!

Favourite Colours - Greens

Favourite Colours - Blue ATC's

 From the archive.

My favorite color: Yellow, especially when it comes to flowers!

This is one from the archives. A friend purchased a bad charity shop painting where the deer, as you can see, are not to scale with the surroundings. He asked me to collage on the piece, which I did. The flowers are from a vintage book of garden flowers and the color plates have aged and I couldn't correct it. But the daisy and the marigolds are the color I chose to show an example of what you could do with this challenge!

THEME: Have a favorite color? Make a collage with at least three examples of that color within the piece.

 To make it easier, you can use various shades of the color.

Let's Get Physical - Gardening Exercises

THEME: "Let's Get Physical"

Everyone has fretted about gaining weight during these trying pandemic times. We know physical activity also benefits your mental health, which would be a good thing right about now.

So, let's get physical...pick up those scissors and burn a couple of calories snipping 'this and that' while assuming a relaxing state of mind as you create a masterpiece of movement on paper.
