I think this is the last collage I’ll post for this round. It was the result of a happy accident of colors and shapes in the scraps that were left on my worktable.

I think maybe I could have stopped when this one was quite simple; it pleased me then. But I started adding more stuff, and ran out of time & energy while it was (is) still in this intermediate, not-quite-resolved state. But I think I’m going to let it go, and leave it where it is.

There are still a couple of pages of ideas waiting to be added to and glued down before this year’s collaging is over.

kisses, and plate-haloes, and one more snek that didn’t fit into the last collage.

it is all glued down. Until I put all the collage materials away for the year, I can’t promise it won’t change, but at least now everything there will stay where it is. I did manage to work in a couple more sneks and a couple more potatoes.

More collage. I got the pieces tacked down but not yet glued in place, so this one may shift and change a bit before it’s done. I think there may be room for at least one more potato. Although I am usually not consciously thinking about a theme while I’m working on these collages, this one seems to have something to do with the spectators’ gaze. And now that I’m looking at it, it clearly needs more sneks.
