A beautiful hook given to me by my mother. She purchased it while on her trip to France. I finally decided on the perfect spot:


Reading Ali Edwards' blog, I was inspired once again to create a little something. I wish I had the awesome butterfly punch that she used for her collage, but it wouldn't have looked right for the large collage that I had in mind anyway. The display on this bookshelf was very stagnant. I was excited to do something new:

I dragged out my folders of paper and chose a variety of designs. I love red and thought it was fitting for February. I added a bit of black and a few naturals. Then I popped in some green to tie in the grasses. Using my circle cutter, I started right in.


I loved the smaller framed collage that Ali Edwards showcased. Any repeated shape would be fun, and you could use tiny scraps of paper or magazines and catalogs to make your design.

Great idea. Thanks for sharing, along with the steps of "how to." I am getting super antsy to get my walls filled up. This is helpful.
Love this project! In March, when our calendar slows a little I am going to try it! I didn't get to create the grass container...yet...so this project is a must! Aren't you glad you started posting these projects? It's a kindof accountability for taking time to create and enjoy little bits of beauty. Good for you! Thanks for sharing.
Heidi,
I linked to this project! I hope you don't mind. It's just too fun not to share!
Heather~ I think a project like this would look great in your home. It is a personal and fairly inexpensive way to spruce up a wall.
The Good~ I *am* glad I started posting these projects. You have no idea how good it has felt to get back in a creative mood after such a long time of just being an exhausted mother! I feel like me again! Absolutely feel free to link whenever. :)
I love your finished product! The white canvas with different colored circles looks great together. I love how you included the green. Thanks for sharing!
Great take on Ali's collage. I think I will try something akin to what you did to add to my bare white walls at home. I will try an 'Ali-like' collage to post up in my craft space. Good stuff. Thanks for posting.
A lovely collage!
