The final three...ICE 2009

Well...this is it. The last three collages in my series of 13 collages for this years International Collage Exchange (formerly known as the Baker's Dozen.)

While I am really pleased to have achieved what I have I almost feel as though I am seeing off a good friend! These collages and the theme's and ideas that surround them have been in my thoughts and actions for many weeks now and the end of this part of the journey is now here. I am really pleased with the final outcome, the last collage is as strong as the 1st in my mind and even though I repeated a lot of the same elements I don't feel as though I repeated myself too much. If you know what I mean!

These collages really are little bits of me!

International Collage Exchange# 11. Title: Believe it.
Laser copied photo, recycled envelope, recycled bird image on notecard, serviette, thread, recycled bird nest image from childrens book, recycled brown paper bag, newspaper text.

International Collage Exchange #12. Title: Heirloom.

2 laser copied photos, recycled atlas page, recycled paper from a yellow party hat, recycled brown paper bag, recycled organic seed catalogue, thread. This was titled after some of the text on the collage. I really like this one. I like the weaved part especially.
As part of the exchange each artist submits one collage as part of the permanent collection and one will be offered for sale. I am donating this one for the permanent collection and the one below for sale. If it doesn't sell (on line) it will become part of the pool of collages exchange.

International Collage Exchange #13. Title: Takahe

2 laser copied photos, recycled NZ Bird's book page, tracing paper, thread. Takahe's are birds native to NZ, similar is shape and colouring to the native Pukeko.See the bottom right line drawing.

Thanks to everyone who's dropped by and offered me support and encouragement! I guess there's a little bit of you in these too! Go well! Lisa:)
