COLLAGES - FINISHED

At last I have completed all the collages ready for the 13th International Collage Exchange, with a few spares and one or two I have decided to keep for myself! What a treat, something I rarely do. Usually I am 'left' with the works that don't sell from each new body of work, but strangely enough the 'leftovers' are usually my favourites.

  4. Nicely done. A good selection. They differ, but show your personal style in every one. I like the first and last.
    greetings

  5. All wonderful but the last is my favourite. It must be quite a feeling of accomplishment to have completed all your collages for the exchange.

  6. N- well done. Love the egg or stone motif coming through - not influence by the bits and pieces on your deck? The whole collection must look truly impressive. Glad you are giving yourself a gift of a couple you like. B

  7. How come B got in first? I was going to say I love the rock/pebble/egg ones the most! Lovely images and some lucky folk will receive them.

  8. These are all really beautiful. I resonate most with the second from the top. I always find it interesting that people resonate with different ones.

  9. Absolutely beautiful Noela! I love the egg/stone ones,very evocative, but would like to get closer to them all and investigate the process. Hope I get one!

  12. Very nice ... composition and color matched poetry ... hint of infinite freedom in an enclosed space ... everyday detail carries another story ... :-)

  14. Noela,
    I love the colours and the composition; your collages are perfect!

  15. These are really beautiful Noela, I particularly like the ones with the egg / rock shapes and I especially like the feel of the series, growth, emergence; hidden, but there.

  16. Wow, oh wow. Great collages. I had forgotten all about the exchange. Always love to see them all. It would be worth it to enter just on the off chance of getting one of yours back. Mary

  17. I just sent my 13 collages to Dale Copeland for the exchange. An artist friend sent me your blog address. I am one who enjoys texture and activity in my art and find yours very exciting and alive. I'll check in on your blog once in a while. Keep at it!

  18. Hi Michele, Jeane and Sigrid, thanks for the lovely comments,
    Hi Liz, the 'hidden but there' comment is exactly what I am trying to achieve - not always easy to be unobtrusive,
    Hi Shizo and Jann, glad you like what I am doing,
    Mary and Pat, yes, it's great to have a project to get the motivation happening - thanks again to Dale!!

  19. Wonderful work, indeed; I think the 5th and the last are my favorites. Are these the ones you kept, or sent?

  20. Hi Sharmon, thank you - these will be part of the exchange. The ones I kept and sent to other places are on previous posts.
