Filled to the MAX

 We live in a pretty full house..we both collect stuff..toys,books,material,more toys,tins,DVDs cassettes,records and of course plenty of art on the walls.

My sister collects a lot of ceramic things…so this is what I was thinking of when I did this collage.

Maximilian To The Max .......................................Personal Growth

I got the wrong end of the stick trying to figure this one out. My take on it was from largest to smallest - hence the rows of cabbage/heads! Doh! I will have another go soon.

Theme: Maximalism to The Max!

To the Max in art, design, colour, interiors, fashion etc…

Collages featuring “More is More” in everything.

Include the kitchen sink if need be, just don’t run out of glue!

what's-that-sound?: The Sound of Music

What's That Sound ? ............................Ten Cool Cats

The sound of ten cool cool cats would be pretty alarming I reckon especially if they were fighting! Also a great song ( find it on You Tube ) by The Beatles and others. I forget who did the original version?

What's that Sound???

Music to my ears.

(Discovered Joni Mitchell in 1970, will never tire of listening to her.)

What’s that sound?

 

Albert hoped he would be able to hear the trees growing when he set up his hearing trumpets in the forest.

Instead the sound of the birds swearing at each other deafened him….”get off my branch you b*stard” he heard them screeching at each other…

(I am convince most bird song is territorial and they are basically saying..”get orf my land” 😁)

Theme: What's that Sound?

A favourite sound or reaction to sound in collage form.

Or...on the negative side - annoying noises welcome too!

Ye Olden Days..................................Ye Old Granma & Her Hobbies

YE OLDEN DAYS ...

Photograph (removed from a book published in 1972)

 of 200-year-old Red Pines with fire scars created almost 100 years ago.

Women wearing the fashion of 1873 (correlating to the date of the fire scars).

Interesting how the fashions appear so dated yet nature remains the same to our eyes.

 

Ye Olden Days: Dodo powered Camera Drone at Ye Olde F.A. Cup Final.

Ye Olden Days....................................Ye Old World Scratch

Ye Olden Days

Once upon a long ago - the good old days - days of yore.

Collages about some other time in the past.

laughter: Spot the Laff!

For Twiggy, LAUGHTER was the best medicine after all the stress of high fashion modeling...

 I wanted to find a picture of someone laughing heartily and Twiggy was my pick!

Pack all your troubles in your old kit bag….

 

laughter: Just like that - Tommy & Tommy Jnr.

Laughter......................A Shoal Of Smiles

We all like bit of laughter, now and again especially the way the world is these days.

So, collages which feature smiles, chuckles, jokes & slapstick…etc. Perhaps with a favourite comedian, film, sketch, song or routine.

A splendid time is guaranteed for all. :D

OPPOSITES

 Although the Smith Brothers looked alike,

their character traits and behaviors could not be more opposite.

Big fish little fish…
