Thursday Art & Dinner Date!


 

I have made more collages than you can imagine ... some for fun, some for gifts, some to hang on my wall, and some for blog posts ... so here goes :)  Some of the collages would be better if you click to enlarge on them.

These are Izzi Collages ... there are many more than this, but I am trying to be reasonable.














Then, of course the kitties had to get into the pictures ....

Wow, you are the Queen of Collage! Hard to pick just a few faves, but I like the Warhol effect and Izzi, the neighbour's cats (they just HAD to get into the act!), Fly by Night and the one with the backward clock faces and rainbow colours.

Simply gorgeous. Thank you. Muchly.

This is an impressive collection, Andrea. Some amazing collages and I have no doubt that many of them trigger memories for you. I have looked through them all three times now. I don't usually pick favourites, but if I had to choose one among the selection here it would be the Whooping Cranes. They are such magnificent birds and have made a remarkable recovery from the very edge of extinction, and they span the whole continent. They breed (primarily) in Wood Buffalo National Park in Alberta, and spend the winter in the Aransas NWR in Texas. Someone should make a poster from your collage and post it everywhere people care about birds. Your rehab collage tugs at my heart strings too. You are a talented, sensitive woman. Thanks for letting us see these works of art.

Wow what a collection, these are all so wonderful.

You have pulled out all the stops today. It would be hard to pick a favorite, but the steampunk collage caught my eye. Of course, all the Izzy and granddaughter collages were great, too.

What a fabulous collection of collages. These were lots of fun to see. I particularly liked the pup and kitties, and I haven't thought of Snidley Whiplash in a long time! Hugs-Erika

Hi Andrea.
This is how i did my cucumber mayonnaise. Wash and peel a cucumber. Grate your cucumber. Spoon in some mayonnaise. Add chopped dill or celery. A pinch of salt and a little black pepper. Mix well with your spoon. And you cucumber mayonnaise is ready to be served.

Much❤love

Andrea, this is such a wonderful and diverse collection of beautiful collages. I saw there were a couple images that made a few appearances in different collages and I loved those! Beautiful words as well in some of them. I can also see that you have a great sense of humor. Thank you for sharing your art with us, I enjoyed every single one.

Wow! Wow! Wow, Andrea! You have created so many amazing photo collages. The Izzi series is heartwarming. It's impossible to pick a favorite. I've made a few photo collages and they are a lot of work. You continue to be an inspiration!
