Thank you to all for the great collaboration. I learned a great deal from this experience and so much about personal vision. My finished piece is now with Berkeley Commonplace. Image below.
With respect, Janet



Roberta Fudim, February 14, 2026

Bonnie Baskin, February 3, 2026

I sent both Dara’s & Janet’s together yesterday morning, and Janet should hopefully have them by Wednesday (tracking info attached).

I still have my own to possibly alter and send in (or keep) and I hope to figure that out tomorrow before I travel again.
Thank you all for your patience! ~ Bonnie



Roberta Fudim, January 6, 2026

I just sent Bonnie her collage! I’m all caught up. Woohoo. I forgot to take a before photo of Bonnie’s so I’m including the after photos only. Happy new year!


Roberta Fudim, January 2, 2026

Janet was the originator of this collage. This collage and Dara’s were mailed to Bonnie today and they should arrive in Monday. Yay!!
Before and After photos and the collages waiting at the post office!


Roberta Fudim, December 31, 2025

Israel hand delivered 3 Collages to me today! Thank you so much. Here is the first one I’m ready to send out. My goal is to have all three hit the post office on Friday 1/2/26. This collage’s originator is Dara. I forgot to take a before photo –
So this before already has the addition of the ovals. Whoops.

Bonnie Baskin, November 25, 2025

I sent Israel’s collage to Janet today, Tue 11/25 and with the holiday, it should arrive Saturday.
Really fun to play with this one…I tried lots of iterations!



Dara Goosby, November 3, 2025

I sent Bonnie’s collage to Israel on October 31st



Bonnie Baskin, October 24, 2025

I sent Roberta’s collage to Janet today. I was so inspired when I first saw it and I had so many ideas! Most of them involved layering over the transparencies a bit though, and I spent a bit too much time worrying about adhesives and whether or not they’d stick. In the end, I worked around the edges.

This week I also received Israel’s collage from Roberta. Loved playing princess for a minute!



Roberta Fudim, October 11, 2025

I received Israel’s collage. Now sending it off to Bonnie on Tuesday, 10/14



Janet Valls, October 5, 2025

Sending next step in Bonnie’s collage to Dara on Monday, October 6. Such an interesting process



Dara Goosby, September 30, 2025

I sent Janet’s and my starter collages to Israel today. It was fun to get out my box of collage stuff and make a mess!
Looking forward to this creative adventure with all of you.



Bonnie Baskin, September 28, 2025

I received Roberta’s starter this weekend…from the glue marks on the envelope, I suspect a couple of transparencies were there that got knocked off in transit :-( The one on the back was loose, but made it though! And the actual collage and extra bits inside are just fine! Looking forward to playing with your piece!



Israel Forbes, September 24, 2025

Here is my starter collage. I sent it off to Roberta on 9/19.



Roberta Fudim Group, September 22, 2025

Sending off my first round tomorrow!



Bonnie Baskin, September 18, 2025

Looking Forward To This Process!

I am new to this project and I am looking forward to collaborating!

In my own work, I sometimes include eyes and lips that I have fussy-cut from fashion magazines, so I decided to include them here in my own starter collage. I am curious to see how other people interact with it.

I didn’t have the easiest time assembling this piece. I layered everything down (on a paper that I had added some watercolor paint to) and then I took a photo so I could get everything back in place as I was gluing down… but almost immediately I got everything backwards. Oh well. I guess there’s no mistakes in art, only opportunities, right?!

I mailed my starter to Janet 9/16 and she should receive it today, 9/18.
I look forward to seeing what the rest of our group is up to!
