dog-days-of-summer: Woofer Roofer.

From the Archive: We're moving house this weekend, and we've had a few "dog-days" leading up, but it's getting cooler. Hope to get a new collage done soon.

The Dog Days Of Summer - Dog Hotel

Thanks to Hazel for donating her excess dog clippings. It saved me a job of looking through a ton of books and mags to find some!

The Dog Days of Summer. (The giant poodle of the solar system).


 I would love a small dog…maybe look for one when we have sorted everything.

THEME: Dog Days of Summer

According to The Old Farmer's Almanac, The Dog Days of Summer begin 3 July and end 11 August. I happen to be "dog sitting" a cute little Bichon/Poodle mix named "Goofy" as of 27 June for ten days. So I will certainly be experiencing The Dog Days of Summer. Have fun!

THEME: What the Drone Delivered

I heard a story about drones delivering more and more of our online purchases direct to our door. But what if we live in a tent? Or a houseboat?? Have fun with this one!

SUMMER PASTIMES -- "Shall I compare thee to a Summer's Day?"


 Always and forever gardening will be my favorite summer pastime.

Summer pastimes..shell collecting in the UK.


 How to dress for a summer beach holiday in the UK.  (Slight exaggeration for comic effect).

P.S..Shells bought from the shell shop on the pier….nothing that exotic here.

Little Boy Blue

 

Little Boy Blue

Come collect your flowers 

The sprout is in panic

The marrow confused

Where is the boy who looks after the sheep?

He bought his love broccoli as he is so cheap!

THEME: Portrait of a Nursery Rhyme Character

Old King Cole, that merry old soul? How about The Muffin Man? Too many to mention here ... but wouldn't they love to be immortalized on The Kollage Kit? I think they would. Have FUN with this one.

hoarding: Ephemera-rama!

As a collagist, gotta keep those bits of paper, big & small, old & new.

It’s for Art, isn’t it? Not hoarding...is it? :D

Cheese Hoarding


I must admit to watching and being inspired by Monty Python's Cheese Shop Sketch!

Hoarding - Do Well For Us

I couldn't fit this one under the scanner hence the rather lop-sided image. From an old Sundy Times Magazine aping the DIY mags of the 50's. Ive added some more "clutter" and changed some words around a bit.
