Month: December 2017

Well made it right through the year! I am so pleased I haven’t missed a day of making a collage, admittedly I have been a bit slow at posting the images, but I have 12 big piles of collages.

Still not quite sure what to do with them all, but that’s something to think about.

I am so pleased with myself I am setting myself another year long project, to make a print everyday. I am not going to limit the size this year, so some may be small and others bigger. Hope you can join me in my 2018 adventure.

Happy New Year !

All of a sudden its the end of the year. How many times do I hear people say they are surprised how time has flown by?  Me included, I have had one heck of a year, participated in so much, but then I feel I have let plenty go undone. For me my cup is often half empty so I am not surprised by me thinking I haven’t acheived much. As I sit with my daughter planning her 21st birthday celebrations in April I do wonder how much time I have freewheeled  through, could things have been different if… But no I am happy where I am, today I am here. And that is enough.

 

One.

Two days before the end of the year. I am once again battling with the demon of decision making . You hear so many inspirational stories of people overcoming the odds and doing great things. I have lost count of how many times I have visited an exhibition and said , ‘that’s just what I was doing 6 months ago’. But my work stays hidden away from the viewers eyes , burning a hole in my heart because I didn’t show it to anyone. This year has been different, I have been working on these collages, and applying to work in different places. I still have a long way to go before every application I fill in is sent and I make the work that is in my maze of a mind.

two more to go…

It is nice to have the space in my garage to work, but it is a bit on the cold side today. When things need doing they need doing cold weather or not.

Here are yesterdays and todays collage. Counting down to the last one of the year, and debating what to do next.

Oh my days, you would think it had never happened before, but every year people seem to be running around trying to get themselves sorted before Christmas Day. It does make me surprised that such a Christian celebration takes over everyone. I wish everyone , no matter which religion or not you follow, a happy and restful holiday.

Well I am not doing so good posting the collages so far this month. Which is a disappointment to me. I do worry about ‘paying my way’, and I have gotten caught up in making some money to pay some bills which has left me tired at the end of the days, and I am not good at this blogging malarkey at the best of times.

Here are the collages to catch up this month.
