H is for…

For each letter I cut out those same letters out of hundreds of magazines (thank you VBPL for the free mags!), glued them on a paper background until the page was filled. Then I glued the page on a heavy cardboard background and chose 3D items that represent the letter gluing them on. I hope you enjoy my collages!

19-Somethin’ #18 & A to Z Update

This challenge is sponsored by P.S. Annie! It’s called 19-Somethin’, where participants answer a question about their past each day of September. Sounds like a fun way to spend a September, right?

18. Did you like to roller skate? Did you go to a skating rink or did you skate on the sidewalk/street at home? If you went to the skating rink, did you spend more time skating or socializing?

I hated roller skating. I was and am still afraid of falling. I was seriously clumsy when I was a kid and fell a lot. Now my knees are shot after 20 years of food service and retail so a fall today would mean serious trouble for me!

A to Z Update!

I’ve been mostly focusing on the upcoming Halloween Challenge (click on the badge below for details to join in!) but I did work on the collages a bit.

I started on “C” – it may be finished but I haven’t decided yet.

“E” is just barely started.

“F” is mostly done – I’ll set it aside for a while and then look at it again; if I like it, then I’ll seal it, set it aside and it won’t see the light of day again until next year!

Click on the badge for more about the Halloween Challenge!! It’s open to all!!

Here are the subjects and each day to post:

A to Z Collage Update 090516!!

I finished!!!! All the letters of the alphabet are all finished! I started in May and it only took 3 months! “J” was my last one and my goal was to finish by the end of Summer – and I finished on August 31!!!! Here’s “J” –

In the end, I did have to cheat on”J” mainly because I didn’t want it to go on and on. I modified “Ts” and “Fs” to make “Js”. 

Here is the final letter count – I won’t post the letter count again till next year!!!

 

So now its on to the boring part of sealing all the letters – I’ve done about half. As soon as that’s done I’ll be doing the 3D items on the letters. I showed “H” last week – I’m not sure I’m satisfied with it – but I’ll work it out!

In the meantime, happy creating!!

A to Z Collage Update 082916!

I’m almost finished with the letters!!! Yippee!!  I finished Q and X this week! That means the only letter left is J! Here’s Q and X:

I will admit I’ve cheated on the letters! Some of the Qs are Os with added squigglies. And at the very end I used 2 Vs to make Xs. Wish I had thought of that sooner!! I’m hoping by next post I’ll be finished with J. When I’m done with J I’ll share my cheats on that letter!

I thought I’d try out adding some 3-D elements; I had a ton of heart buttons and used them on the letter H. I’m not sure I like it –  I think it has to grow on me. Outlining the color letters is what I saw in my head but in reality I don’t know if it’s what I want to do. I’m still thinking that part through. Anyway, that’s where I’m at right now. Who knows where I’ll be in a week’s time!

Here’s the next to the last letter count! Color letter count hasn’t changed but the black and white letters have changed, of course. I’m wondering about the Q letter count. It seems a little low to me but I’m not going back and recounting!

 

Since I am coming to the end of the weather challenge I’ve started a new project, altering a deck of cards!  I’ll start showing those probably next week. It’s been a long drought with me creatively speaking so now that the juices are flowing I am brimming with ideas!!! (The challenge goes on through May, 2017, but I’m almost finished creating my entries.)

Happy creating!!!
