collage day

Yesterday two of my best pals and I watched dance movies, ate homemade vegan soups, and made collages. It is February break up here in the Northeast and they are both teachers. I am a lazy student putting off the dread of the defense so this was a perfect distraction. S has a project with her students called "artist trading cards" that consist of composing collages on actual playing cards. This small size provided all sorts of unique design challenges. I've given up magazines for Lent so most of my pieces were culled from vintage Time Life books and stock photo books discarded by design firms. S and I are going to assemble the trading cards into a larger project marking our 30th birthdays in May and June. Keep watching for the 30x30 Project to evolve.
