Catching Up - and Collage Challenges #31 and 32

 I've been in the mountains of New Mexico for ten days with my entire family. It was a much-needed respite from the Texas heat and great to have the family all together after so long. Of course, I didn't get any art done during that time but have caught up on a few of the weekly collages and a few other projects since returning.

Week 31

Prompts:

1) something found in a desert (cacti)

2) fiber, yarn or string (fibers on specimen tag)

3) cursive handwriting (upper left corner and on tag)

4) an art scrap (collage scrap on left side under ribbons)

5) eating or cooking utensil (spoon)

Bonus: piece of coloring book page (lower left corner)

Week 32

Prompts:

1) something sticky (lollipop)

2) something drawn or written in pencil (handwriting in back of portrait)

3) window or door (magazine image of window, lower right)

4) something that starts with J (glass jug, jar of buttons)

5) chewing gum or cough drop wrapper (didn't use this prompt)

Bonus: a person (vintage image of woman)

This page was a real challenge to get all the various items to come together. It certainly is not my favorite page but I think it finally works.
