Sunday Sundries: a Collage

March 15, 2015 by Barb 19 Comments

Welcome to Sunday Sundries! I have much to celebrate this week and I’m so happy you stopped by. If you have something to share, please feel free to add it to the link-up at the end of this post.

Today, I present my botanical collage. I recently discovered a beautiful IG feed by sarah_notes_._._._ in which she posts her most amazing and intricate collages filled with real flowers and all types of ephemera.

The first time I saw her work, I was smitten. They are not just paper collages, but 3D collages of paper, with artfully placed objects.

I was so inspired, I decided to try my hand at this fascinating art form. I think it struck the collector/scrapper chord within me. It makes me think of  a scrapbook page somehow brought to life, and I believe this will be the beginning of many collage creation adventures.

I processed this image with kk_melancholy which adds a pink/mauve tone to images, and I like it with the tones in the paper, the flower petals, and the bulbs.

I believe my Gift from a Friend fits this collage category beautifully as well don’t you?

So what am I celebrating this week (other than my new-found love of 3D collage?)

Well, I’m living a creative life. That thought popped into my head the other morning and it was kind of like a revelation! No big expectations … I’m simply living a creative life …

  • I create something every.single.day.
  • The online community that has embraced, inspired, and encouraged me.
  • Spring is on it’s way in my part of the world.
  • I picked a bouquet of pussywillows.
  • Spring bulbs, and the promise they hold.
  • Light-filled days (and evenings).

    Barb, I really need to give you a huge Thank You for the constant flow of inspiration. It seems you are like me – when you read a good book or see a good movie – you can’t wait to tell your friends! It’s like this in our photography work, as well. Thank you for sharing this beautiful idea for photographic collages – can’t wait to try this! Your collage here is simply divine! Just love it!

    And, I have a post for tomorrow that was inspired by you as well – on table settings. Thank you, always!
