Jill Russell, February 23, 2026
I was so happy with my three small collages I received from the group. I only made a few changes and glued them onto a black background.
Ines Kramer, February 20, 2026
I got my collage back and pondered for a bit, then remembered the instruction was to finish it as my own. I wound up cutting into two collages, something I’ve done many times before.
February 14, 2026—CKDagosta’s completed collage has arrived at headquarters.
CKDagosta, February 13, 2026
Sent my final/original to Marty on Feb 12!!! I am happy with the outcome. For me the process was very satisfying and delightful. Collaboration, especially in design, in my past experience has been difficult . The distance factor with this process made it easier – but having control at the end was necessary! Thanks to the team!
January 30, 2026—Carol Nakaso’s completed collage has arrived at headquarters.

Carol Nakaso, November 30, 2025
Received Jill Russell’s collage the day before Thanksgiving. What a delight when opened! Coincidentally just finished the biography of Yoko Ono by David Sheff; the handwritten notes by collaborators reminded me of Fluxus – chance operations, colorful and energy from nature and the mark of the hand(stitching). Am grateful to be a part of this year’s Roundtable Collage community 🙏.
Jill Russell, November 28, 2025
CKDAgosta’s and Kiki’s collage mailed today to Kiki. Kiki’s collage is now is full circle, ahead of schedule.
CKDagosta, November 20, 2025
Stage 3-sent Jill’s original w Kikis & my additions, off to Carol today. 5 pieces/10 sides. Complex, beautiful, intriguing.
Ines Kramer, November 18, 2025
Originator is Kiki Sims
I started working on this before reading any accompanying notes, adding the seated woman and abstracted eye. Once I read the MLK quote (recalled by Kiki as ‘you don’t have to see the whole staircase, you just have to take the first step’) , I serendipitously found the Buster Keaton seekers that felt like a good fit, and expanded on the folding format. I tend to work visually rather than from words, so this was an interesting change of pace.
Carol Nakaso, November 8, 2025
11/8/25- mailed November collage (Kiki’s starter) to Ines who will be away during Thanksgiving holiday.
Jill Russell, November 8, 2025
Carol Nakaso’s collage (originator) added to by Jill on its way to Kiki.
Ines Kramer, November 7, 2025
Received collage originated by CK D’Agosta from collaborator Carol Nakaso in October. Full of texture and quite delicate, so I added semi transparent hand printed paper to help protect it, and also to suggest a garden. Sending to the next collaborator, Jill Russell soon.
CKDagosta, October 31, 2025
Received Jill’s original w Kiki’s additions.
Carol Nakaso, October 18, 2025
Received Kiki’s starter from CK Agosta. Am away this weekend and will work on the collage after I return. This year’s Roundtable has been unique in seeing how other artists work: the use of chiaroscuro: light and dark in selecting images. I saw pairs and the relationship and space between the placement the previous artist chose in their composition. Subconsciously I hadtorn the image of two women walking arm in arm shot from behind from a National Geographic magazine and for the color I may include as my part. I could see CK’s addition of stitching tor texture. Great year, great mix of artist. Thanks , Marty!
