When is comes to this time of year, my mind goes into creative overdrive. I realize my posting is much less now that my original goal has been met, but believe me, I am still making stuff. There are about ten Christmas gifts in the works as well as my calender drawings. Current projects involve sewing, crafting, drawing and crocheting. I am proud to say that a good chunk of gifts are already done or close to being done, yeah! Working in a fabric store has definitely boosted my creativity and some days too many ideas are crowding my mind. Because funds are still low for us, I have been buying things bit by bit every payday. It helps to not have to blow an entire paycheck all at once. This also is good because with my discount on top of sale price, I have gotten some incredible deals. Add caption Today, my post will be the first of my calender pages. There are two finished so only ten to go!
I love cats, unfortunately I don't have any right now. I had some great pets in the past and made a collage of them. My cats were Purrcilla, Oliver and Mystr. Purrcilla was all black and the others black and white. Hm...color theme again? I took some pictures of them and used a copy machine, not a scanner, to make the collage. Some images were enlarged to various sizes and because I used a copier instead of a scanner/printer, there are different shades on the pictures. I laid out the pictures before glueing them and didn't realize until it was finished that it kind of resembled the shape of a cat sitting. This is a favorite of mine because it reminds me of my beloved pets. This is also a project that anyone can do, it's a great way for kids to be creative and to also use up old magazines. You can collage anything from landscapes to portraits.
