We have been hard at work this month on our "Patchwork Quilt" Bird Collages. Several of my students took a look at my sample piece and noted that it looks like an old timey patchwork quilt- so the name stuck.
Originally I had used magazine pages cut in small pieces for the "quilt pieces" but one day, could not find my bag of cuttings so resorted to using scrapbook papers instead- and I must say the results are actually much more colorful and pretty. So we have continued to use random scrapbook papers as our base collage- sometimes they are so pretty, my students don't want to paint over them- and I agree that the paper collages could stand on their own as a work of art. Here are some of my students in action:

| My ladies at Atria in Richardson- hard at work! |

| A collage in process |
 |
| My group at Chambrel at Club Hill hard at work! |

We will be finishing our mixed media collages tomorrow at Chambrel- so I will post photos of our finished masterpieces. I am very excited to see how everyone's artwork turns out!
Till then- Have fun and Stay Creative!
