I made this Collorage during a gloomy foggy day and was perked up by the warmth of these red, orange and ochre colors, which remind me of the glow of burnished metal.

My love of flowers came to expression in this Collorage.
Mystic Garden
I created this composition of colors to challenge your imagination!
Pink Rose
These particular shapes and soft pinks gave me pleasure and motivation to create a design with a feminine quality.
Mystique
These colors and shapes I playfully arranged to bring the mysterious black orb into focus.
Chenille
These colors and textures challenged me to coax them into an interesting design.
Velas
Rummaging through a myriad of paper scraps, these particular shapes found themselves in an arrangement that to me looked like sailboats and I launched them into this Collorage.
Larme
This shape reminded me of a teardrop.
Honey Gold
This unusual looking wilted flower challenged me to find the right colors, shapes and textures to contrast with it and make the final composition captivating.
Glad I did it!
I am so glad that I participated in “The 100 Day Project” as the project impacted me in many ways. First of all, it helped me get through the unforgettable winter we just experienced. I had a purpose to work in the studio every day and once there I forgot about what was happening outside. It is hard to be inspired and depressed at the same time! After one hundred days I have formed a habit of going to the studio every day, if only for a few minutes, feel funny if I don’t. I now look at everything with fresh eyes as to its texture potential. Hmm, I wonder if cat fur… It is fun to look everywhere, the basement, garage, inside and outside the house. Who knew all the cool stuff my husband had in the garage! Best of all, I have a valuable resource of texture samples that I can incorporate into my designs. I plan to continue exploring metal textures and recording the process with a binder of samples and photographs and notes in my journal. The difference is now I will do that whenever I get a new idea, not every day. Thank you for organizing “The 100 Day Project”.
