I didn't make an assemblage on Sunday.  Instead, I spent it with my lovely husband, hitting flea markets and antique shops.  The weather has been gorgeous so had to get out and enjoy it.  I will make two sometime this week to make up for it.  I also decided from day one that I will not be able to make tiny pieces to fit onto my small shelving.  I have another project in plan that I think will work better. 

 

Also, FINALLY, I have all the collages packed from the 100 collage project and will send them off in this week's mail.  I'm sorry for the wait!  

Assemblage #2 - Endorphins

dollar store sewing kit, embroidery floss, and paper cutouts

Assemblage #1 - I Only Have Eyes For You

dollar store kid's party glasses with magazine cutouts

 

 

I realized it was March 1st just an hour ago and remembered my assemblage project.  I quickly made these glasses for my first piece.  When I first wanted to start this project a few weeks ago, I headed to the dollar store to buy the bulk of my materials.  I thought that would help me tie together all the objects.  I plan to use them as a base and find the rest of the stuff around the house.  We'll see if it works.  This has a cutout on the back of the woman's face and I intended to shine light through the back to create more dimension, but had no batteries for my flashlight.  This is a lame start and am sure that I will have many misses, like in my 100 collage project, but I hope it will give me some ideas for future pieces.
