Last June, I collaborated with Pamela Körner on this mission. I only now see I haven’t published the results on my blog yet (I put them on Instagram instead) so here they are:

I, Marit, started these halvzies and Pamela finished them

I also collaborated with Robert Stockton @scrapbox9 on this same mission. This time, Robert started the halvzie collages and sent it to me. When my beloved Marius (who used to paint and made collages long before I knew him, but hasn’t been any creative in that area since the eighties or so…) saw these halvzies standing on my easel he asked me if he ‘could do one’. I couldn’t believe my ears so I gave him the one he wanted to work with. I photographed it first and printed the halvzie on thick paper, I myself worked on that.

Philatelic Collage

Last year I joined the Special Agent Collage Collective. I am officially known as Special Agent 074 and I love the missions that Head Quarters send out… for example this one: “Your mission is to create an analog collage ON a postage stamp (not an artist stamp). This means a tiny collage.”

I found a sheet of postage stamps at a flee market, picturing paintings that hang in the van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. I managed to make collages on all three stamps but it was pretty difficult to create that small!

I hope you liked seeing me and my workdesk again and I plan on visiting ‘the workdesk gang’ in the following days. Enjoy your day!

Last September, I joined the Special Agent Collage Collective. I completed a mission to the satisfaction of  the Head Quarters (where agent 001 holds sway) and received my membership card short after. I am officially known as Special Agent 074.

I thought I’d show you the collage I created to become a member but it’s nowhere on my blog, so I guess I only put it on Insta then… This was the mission I completed: “Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to create a smiling collage and leave it in a public place. Materials are not provided for this mission, and it is up to you to decide what constitutes a smiling collage.”

I created a card and left it in the abbey corridor in Middelburg

(Later I got a thank you email from a woman who’d found my little art piece and took it home with her – niceee!)

Because I stepped into the collective later, we’re at mission #8 already… and here’s what this latest mission says: “Your mission is to celebrate a single color with a dazzling monochrome collage.”

I created a series of three mini collages in blues (appr. 3 x 4,5 inch – 9 x 11 cm each)

Here’s the stand-alone collage photos:

Haiku

Because I was all into ‘blue’ I searched for a photo that had blue in it to write a haiku with… and found one that Lena took in October last year.

I submit this haiku to Haiku my Heart

I hope you don’t feel blue, and have a wonderful, colorful day/weekend.
