Bird Day Collage

I made this for a dear friend turning 50--I mean 30. I had a lot of fun putting it together and coming up with materials. I used the New Yorker for sections of words. Her birthday was a dinner- thus "Dinner with Relatives" on the birds wing. There are also the words "birthday cake" and "I love you, man". It's been a long time since I've made one of these. I'll have to remember to do one more often!

Collage is back

Funny, I don't think I've made a collage in a long time, almost 20 years–yeeesh, I have to admit, they've always been a lot of fun to do. A group of New York City Fourth Graders made this one to raise money for the school auction. It's so interesting to study all the different pieces cut out and all the various patterns and colors. Really beautiful. Think I've got to try one, and maybe it'll have to be with a bunch of kids.
