Assemblage #3 - Pinkie
dollar store tape dispensers, pink tape, and mag cutout
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 #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.

Tikis and Pecans

One of my ongoing creative projects for 2013 is to shoot a roll of film a week. These few photos were taken in Alvin, Texas two weeks ago. It was a cloudy day, so the photos are not great. Also, I was shooting b&w, but wished that I had loaded color because everything I wanted to photograph would have looked much better, like these giant Tiki heads which I believe were blue.
These next shots of a fruit and nut stand should have definitely been in color.

The last photo is of two strange dummies with flags for hands trying to get the attention of drivers. I'll admit that I mainly wanted to take photos, but I did want to try the papershell pecans. My grandfather's ranch house had pecan trees and I loved eating them as a kid. We only had a few bucks on us, so after picking some fruits and veggies, we ran out of money. I'll have to go back when it is sunny and re-take photos with color film
On another note, I have not mailed the collages from the 100 collage project, but will
