collage diet challenge – Day 22

Day 22 of december 2015 collage diet challenge. Shredding textile and revealing the weave underneath or unweaving is what came to my mind for Piece #67 and bit for piece for #69. I would like to play with this idea a bit more later. Sometimes I stop myself early to maintain control before I end up doing too much on a piece and get lost. But I also like to test an idea and reserve it and expand on it later. Piece #68 has a mischievous vibe to it, vaguely reminds me of playboy bunnies!

collage diet challenge – Day 19

Day 19 of december 2015 collage diet challenge.  I am having one of those moments that I don’t know what I am doing and having a hard time to concentrate. But here they are, the three pieces for today. Two are made from a fancy suit ripped apart.  You can also follow #collagedietchallenge15 on instagram.

collage diet challenge – Day 17

Day 17 of december 2015 collage diet challenge. Here are the three pieces for today. A beach towel crept into piece #54 and I am really liking the texture of the first cut-out. I cut for two hours straight today and I stopped when I got to this one but then I couldn’t do much to it. You can also follow #collagedietchallenge15 on instagram.

collage diet challenge – Day 16

Day 16 of december 2015 collage diet challenge. I am now fully into stitching and really enjoying it. I am happy with these today because they feel very different from the rest. #50 is my most favorite. It looks very odd. If I remember the cut-out came from a jacket. I cut most of these shapes a while back so I don’t remember the sources except the last one which were a pair of lips from a Maybelline ad. I have made it to 51 works so I am officially half way. Only 49 pieces left to finish. I have no idea how I am going to work during the holidays. That’s the part I completely forgot in my excitement of putting myself on this diet.

collage diet challenge – Day 15

Day 15 of december 2015 collage diet challenge. Almost half way. The works today are quite juicy, luminous, and luscious. That’s what these ‘previously’ crystal-studded heels by Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton (the first two works) brought me. I have added some microscopic filaments and some stitches. Making them felt mischievous and playful. The copy said lucky are the souls that slip into these elegant velvet treads. I guess I am lucky today!

collage diet challenge – Day 14

Day 14 of december 2015 collage diet challenge. This is baby stepping into angular forms and sharp edges. I know my way around circular, curvy forms and organic, biomorphic shapes and know how to glide smoothly through them. But I am also trying to get over my fear of being cornered (by cornered shapes!)

The stitching continues and it is quite soothing. It feels like I am sewing these cut-outs back into paper.

Day 12 of december 2015 collage diet challenge. Burgundy, maroon, cordovan, oxblood and rose! It is holiday season and I am in the mood for a glass of rich deep red wine.
