My collages

So I thought I would take picutres of some of my collages, this is where my creativity comes to life. I love to collage! I have a drawer at home full of magazines that I go through searching for images then I come up with ideas, a theme or a statement or an idea or dream or a line from a poem I wrote and then I get cutting and glueing! The above collages were from lines of poems I have written.

Above are all collages with lines from some poems I wrote...

This collage is titled "Let's get together" and its all about just that. Two people getting together and loving every minute! I did this when I was single.

I remember feeling so FREE when i did the

bellow collage. It was back after the summer of '99 when I had let go of so many things.

Okay so this collage means a lot to me. It is a recent one so I feel like I have gotten better at really utalizing a theme and making it more profound. This one says " Sunsets and day dreams have filled my soul, I know what it means to be in Love" I did this last year when Kyle and I were living in our apartment in Niagara Falls. The background is black squares all cut from magazines. I was going for a romantic feel. This one goes out to Kyle, He inspired it.

This was the first collage that I ever did. It took me so long! I had to find eyes from anywhere I could to make this work. I must have done this back in grade 9 or it could have been earlier I'm not sure but It was the start of many collages that I would do through my life. I think I have given at least 3 as gifts to people as well.

These are all of the fruits of the spirit that I want to exude in everything I do. I think a woman who can be loving, kind, joyful, good, Faithful and all of the other fruits is a person that others are drawn to and want to be around. I think a ladies charachter goes further then beauty.

City Love-

This was done before I found love but I am inspired and still day dream about living in a Loft apartment, with a fat orange cat like the one in the pic. In Newyork or L.A. - I would love to live with Kyle in the heart of a happening Downtown, walking out our apartment doors and having excitment on the streets all around us. Live music, street vendors and all that fun stuff.

This is " Here we go- Fresh Start- Field of Dreams" This is also a more recent one, I did this in Niagara Falls when we were in our new apartment. I hadent collaged in awhile and I started with this one. I love to dream and I love a fresh start and thats the stage of life I was in when I did this collage.

So I have this in an older post, this is my Walk ON collage which was done after I fell in love with the song "Walk On" by U2. This is one of my biggest collages. I did it on a peice of plywood. This statment has helped me so much 'in life. It's so imprtant not to get stucj and to keep on walking on when things get challenging.

This is all about seld esteem and how woman see themselves. How I saw myself when I was a teenager. Most importanly how I wanted to see myself.

I found the most incredible picture of this woman in a magazine and thats what inspired this collage. This is one of my new ones. It says "City Lights Lead Me Home" And it has Newyork City in the background and a woman trying to find her way home.

"Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining"

This is such a true statement and I was thinking about the good opportunities that sometimes come only from things going wrong. So much of the heart ache that we go through in the end makes us more beautiful then we were before.

The Story of a Prince and a Girl who Dreamed of finding Her Prince.

Once upon a time there was a young woman named Ruby; she lived in a far way kingdom where only the stars in the sky could light the way. The kingdom was tall and made of stone. Inside, it had all of the finest linens and tapestries with winding stair cases, golden mirrors and exotic flowers that stretched the kingdom’s stone walls. The kingdom was surrounded by a large creek bed and had a large wooden draw bridge outside the tall black iron front gates. Beyond the kingdom were many forests, pastures, rivers and hills.

The young woman lived in the kingdom with only her two servants Nigel and Jasmine. They had been with Ruby ever since her mother gave birth to her and have cared for her and loved her since the great royal war that took her family tragically away from her. Years had past since then and Ruby was a young woman now. Since the great royal war she had not seen another person beside her servants. The lands had been deserted as other kingdoms were destroyed and abandoned. No one knew this kingdom existed. It stood in a far off place that only one deserted over grown pathway in the forest would lead to.

Ruby spent her childhood growing up playing with all the animals in the forest, she had names for all of them and would spend her days dancing in the pastures and walking along the creek bed throwing stones into the water. She was content those days as she lived free and enjoyed every tree, every stone, and every pathway near the kingdom. She loved her home but she missed her family and many times she felt alone.

As Ruby grew older she began to stop playing in the pastures and instead she spent her days walking along the creek bed dreaming of finding love and not being alone anymore. Every night outside her balcony she would spend time looking out into the stars and making wishes that one day soon a wonderful man would find the unmarked path in the forest that would lead him to her kingdom.

Nigel and Jasmine were very old now; Ruby took time to care for them and tended to their needs. She would gather food from the garden and make them food to eat and get them blankets to make sure they were comfortable when it was cold. She was not sure how much longer they would live but one thing she knew was how much she admired they’re love for one another and she hold that in her heart for as long as she lived.

It was a warm fall evening; the leaves from the trees were lightly falling as the sun began to set. Ruby was standing on her balcony in her long white silk night gown. As the dark sky began to shine, a light breeze bustled against her gown and her long brown hair blew lightly in the wind. She stood with her hands on the balcony ledge and wished to the stars like she had so many nights before singing” Star light Star bright bring my prince home to me tonight” She stared up into the dark blue sky and began to talk more to the shinning stars.

Just as she was looking up into the sky, talking to the stars a man was following the pathway from the forest that leads to Ruby’s kingdom. He was beginning to approach the edge of the pathway he had began journeying on earlier that day and was about to step on to a beautiful white shiny stoned pebble walk way that would lead up to a draw bridge and to Ruby’s kingdom.

The young man had been travelling for months only eating what he could find along the pathway. Henry was a prince from the golden city of Persia. He was on an expedition when he was captured by rivals and taken to a far away land where he was imprisoned in a place he did not know. Months ago after many nights planning Henry escaped while the guards were sleeping. He thought he would be able to journey home by recognizing land marks but once he had fled the guards he realized that he was further from home then he ever imagined and much to his dismay he did not recognize any of his surroundings. He had been following the sun in hopes of finding his way home. Each day he walked further hoping that one day the pathway would lead him to his family.

Earlier that day Henry had been walking though the forest with large green bushes and fruitful trees around him when he saw a small unmarked pathway that was ragged and old. There were no fruit trees, only old tall trees and an old pebble pathway that seemed run down and abandoned.

He was going to continue to walk on the pathway he had been but something caught his eye as he walked past this abandoned trail. Henry saw a small red ruby attached to a ring lying in between some wet leaves. The sun was shining on it and it glistened and shinned at him. He bent down and lifted the leaves around it away and dusted the ring off and looked at. The ring was prestigious and fit for a princess. He thought about continuing on the main pathway road through the forest but he was drawn down this unmarked pathway. He wondered if this ruby red ring belonged to someone. He put the ring in his pocket and began to walk along the jagged unmarked pathway. He noticed that there were no markings along this pathway so it appeared that no one had walked this pathway for many years.

To Be Continued…
