Three More Collage Challenges - Weeks 33, 34 and 35



I'm still doing the Margarete Miller weekly collage challenges. Some weeks are more challenging than others. The prompts are often so diverse that it's difficult to bring together a cohesive collage.


Week 33


Prompts:

1) bug or insect (round image from a scrapbook paper)
2) piece of lined or graph paper (two lined papers)
3) sequence of numbers (in the three labels)
4) something "rough" (green textured paper)
5) piece of dictionary page (upper portion of background)
Bonus: sticker (postage stamp)

I also added some patterned paper, green washi tape, pieces of drywall tape, stamped greenery. I like the color way of this page - it feels serene.


Week 34


Prompts:

1) pattern paper (stripes and floral)
2) something gray (Leaning Tower of Pisa)
3) an illustration (image of woman doing laundry)
4) something in shape of hexagon (die-cut honeycomb and multiple punched hexagons)
5) text from book page (upper portion of background)
Bonus: paper that has a stain or is stained (avocado-dyed pink paper in center of background)

this one was difficult to bring together. I added the butterfly and floral images to add some contrast but it still feels bland to me - not my favorite page!


Week 35



Prompts:

1) something found in an office ( images of typewriter and scissors, ledger label with staples, paper clip)
2) brown paper (upper left)
3) game piece or puzzle piece (puzzle piece lower left corner)
4) something that is alive (heron, dragonfly, cattails)
5) barcode (upper middle and lower left)
Bonus: "light", whatever that means to you (lightbulb and image of Northern Lights)

I added music paper and dictionary paper with the brown paper to make a neutral background and then added a piece of colorful paper to the lower left corner to balance the image of the Northern Lights.
