Time Project Part 2 - Robin

You never saw part one but this is part 2. The project is to show a progression through 12 small artworks. Mine is obviously done using photo collage.  My favorites are the 2nd, 4th, 9th and 11th. Tomorrow I am going to hand color a black and white version. I hope I like that better.
I think it will create some needed cohesiveness. I'll let you see how it goes.

Gardening for hours over the last few days. My back is loudly screaming, "You bitch! You BITCH!". Luckily it will rain tomorrow and wash away the nasty pollen and give my back a day off. G'night!

Drinkin' & Dog Bites, Why Not? - Rachel

Happy April Fool's Day one and all; in honor of the day I thought I would pay tribute to the major fool-maker! Lift a glass to St. Stupid and have a great night!

I often find myself intrigued by neon and other signs, but never quite know what to do with them... alone their images don't always sing out (even if they are filled with glowing neon) so I thought maybe a collage. I'm pleased with the result - an homage to foolish indulgence.

I read the news today. Oh boy - Amy

 

Another collage for me. The news hurts me so I fight back with art. 

Collage - Robin

I like making collages. I have so many images that I have collected and I love putting them together. It makes me happy. :-)

Make it Work - Amy

Fabric on board

My name is Amy and I have a problem with socks.

Today I decided that I had to come to terms with my many sock "issues." Yes, I have the common problem that all of us face from time to time- the single sock missing its mate. I am not sure if it is my laziness (I'll get around to throwing it away)  or my eternal optimism (that sock will be in the next load of wash for sure!) that keeps me from dealing head on with this. My guess is that both play a strong role.

I also found the dreaded pairs of socks that I hate and refuse  to wear. Both contently paired with its soul mate in a neat bundle in the back of my drawer. These socks will never grace my feet. I know it and so do they - unless a dire (and I do mean dire)  emergency called them into action.  I have been known to wear sandals on a cold rainy day just to avoid wearing those socks. Yet I can't seem to toss them away.

Then there was the "Costco" issue. I bought a 12-pack of peds all in the beige family. Each one was a slight variant on the other. After a while, I could not tell if its mate was there staring me straight in my face. My thoughts went something like this: does this middle beige go with this somewhat middle beige sock? I'm not sure. Perhaps I can tell  for sure in better light. I will deal with this at another time. Yeah right.

Throw in my impulsive moment when I had to buy a box of knee high pantyhose. Don't grown up women wear those? I am a grown up woman! Maybe I will need them one day. I don't think I ever wore them, yet the box took up valuable real estate in my sock drawer.

So today, a moment of inspiration came to me - put these socks to use in art! So I give you this piece. Don't get me started on my underwear drawer!
