Here's a picture of what I did last night:
It isn't the best quality photo. I don't know if you can see what it is exactly so I will explain it. I started out wanting to "write" a poem for Uncle James just using words and/or phrases cut out from various magazines. I ended up with the following poem by the time I was done clipping:
Namaste friend
Every breathe you take
Come as you are
Our hybrid life
Desert's best... CASHED OUT... Chesapeake Bay
Integral grassroots fertile ground
Not all who wander are lost
Where to?
Adventure to greenstreets
Phoenix Rising
Leave no child inside
create.play.care.
Works of art
dream coexist
Welcome the heart of Nature
Dare to dream with pure intentions
Seek the truth
Survive THIS!
It's not about escaping reality
It's about finding it....
READ
express yourself...
A kind spoken-word
is not hard to believe....
The best gift I have to offer
OM
Last words
Love you.....
Each "paragraph" will be one picture for five in total. Last night I completed the first page. I went through old magazines and cut out pictures that I felt matched the emotion of the words. I am not sure how I am going to put together the final product... each an individual framed picture? a bound "book"? I'll be sure to post pictures of the final product...

Wow that is amazing! It beats the pants off some professional artists' collages I've seen. I really can feel the open-heartedness of it.
You simultaneously make me want to do one and know I could never hope to equal your creativity there.
Man! Every day I wish more that we lived near each other.
Thanks Darcy :)
I, too, wish we lived closer together... who knows? We seem to "enjoy" picking up & moving so maybe we'll end up back there soon - ha ha!
I really,REALLY like this. My birthday is less than a month away. (hmmm I wonder what cool thing Momma can send me.)
I know when your birthday is Mr. June 18th :P
:)
