Lauren’s collage is lovely! I picked up on the migratory energy by adding clouds and waves of birds!
Technically, I didn’t add anything. I simply subtracted and rearranged. The only tools I used were scissors and glue.
But what I loved when I looked at this one was the combination of roundness and sharp lines, so I removed a lot of white space (ok, technically it was pink space) to make those even stronger.
There were also a few floating pieces (stickers and stamps) that I moved to new places.
I really like how this one worked out.

I sent our starter collage to Lauren around the end of September, and I’m about to send the excellent piece I got from Jen on to Lauren! I’ve already heard Jay’s is on its way to me now! I’d post a photo but it’s already in the box! :)

I finally sent off Jay’s collage last week (forgot to take a pic before mailing!) and received Amy’s mobile-looking forward to adding to it!

I received a mobile from Amy. I wasn’t sure about its orientation so I picked a top and added a box from which it can hang!
Jay Barchas-Lichtenstein, September 28, 2025
I started my collage and I’m happy with it already so I can’t wait to see what will become of it.
(I’ll see the next person in my chain this week, so it may get handed off instead of mailed.)
