Jackie Karsseboom, February 1, 2026

I forgot to take a photo of Penny’s starter before I worked on it. My main contributions were the transfer images at the bottom in the water and the embroidered circle.



Valerie Schutz, January 21, 2026

I am the last person to add to Gabrielle Stutzman’s starter collage. I added some items in the sky and water, a few pops of yellow, and a tassel to the skateboarding character on this mystical and mysterious mood piece



Jackie Karsseboom, January 11, 2026

I am posting a photo of my starter so we can see its progression.


Posting my contributions to Susanna’s starter.



Valerie Schutz, December 31, 2025

This is Jackie Karsseboom’s starter collage. I added some tissue paper flowers, water, kayak and slivers of color around the animated character on right.



Penny Peak, December 28, 2025

Val’s collage was busy with activity and I wanted to add some feelings of peace and reflection. I added the contemplative man in lower right and the waterfall.


I enjoyed the fanciful, story-like images in Gabrielle’s starter, so different from the melange in many other collages I’ve worked on. I added the skateboard and railing and some lace at the edges.



Valerie Schutz, November 17, 2025

Penny’s collage was rich in color and angles, so I continued with that theme. Added some more organic shapes too.



Jackie Karsseboom, November 12, 2025

I finished working on Valerie’s starter and will try to get it in the mail to Penny in the coming days. I worked on filling in the top corners.


Jackie Karsseboom, November 8, 2025

Received Valerie’s starter from Gabrielle. These 2 photos show Valerie’s initial starter and Gabrielle’s contributions. I’ll post my contributions after I’m finished.



Valerie Schutz, October 29, 2025

I added a second panel to Susanna’s college. She mentioned health, with hair and frogs. I added salmon and a stream to encourage healthy ecosystems. It’s been sent to Gabrielle. Others can choose which way is up!



Jackie Karsseboom, October 29, 2025

I worked by adding additional surreal elements to Gabrielle’s starter. I wanted to emphasize the red in her dress so I added that to my black and white elements to create a narrative and tie everything together.



Penny Peak, October 5, 2025

I dropped off my starter collage today, a gorgeous warm Bay Area fall day. Last year I started with an image that felt political as the year progressed. This year I started with a colorful hallway and added some fanciful elements (a floor of ocean), enjoying the contrast between structure and nature.
