Creative Wednesday - Children

This week at the new Creative Wednesday site the challenge is to make a little 2 inch square of art using "children" as the theme. I found the two inch size a lot easier than an inchie - sometimes it is hard to find things small enough for a one inch square!

As a result of my recent collage frenzy, I am keeping a large box filled with images, scraps of paper and half made bits and pieces close by and trying to make myself use them first when I start to make something. This little twinchie is made using a scrap from a canvas that I had covered in papers and paint as a background for some little three inch square collages a while back. The little Collections slide mount has been stamped with a text image and the eyelets are "just because"! The stamp of the children is also by Collections (only part of the image is visible).

I made some more sewn collages too - I think I am addicted. I'll share some pictures of them once I add the embellishments. This weekend I have used most of my spare time to make a little ATC sized art journal for an exchange with Carole - I really should have planned it instead of just jumping in and starting because I have had to change direction a couple of times to make it work which has been rather time consuming. I've had a lot of fun with it and I am being very free style-wise as part of my continuing effort to loosen up! It isn't quite finished but I'll post pictures once Carole has received it.
