collage diet challenge – Day 31- great finale

Today is the end of my 2015 collage diet challenge. I am finally here at Day 31 and 100 collages. This was the slowest, never-ending December I ever experienced and usually this month passes me by like lightning. It was an insane diet and oddly enough I am a bit sad that’s over. Obviously it has ended into a new year’s resolution of an ongoing collage diet on a different format which I will share it with you in the next post. I will have a final post on this diet, recapping the highlights and my most favorite pieces. Here are my New Year’s Eve special! It is quite a golden-carpet designer-studded event: wearing a gold sequin dress by DKNY, later on changing into a gold foil wool dress by Stella Mccartney accented by Sergio Rossi tech lace heels and Vhernier jewelry. My last pieces are my take on wish lanterns and fireworks with glitter and gold, closing this month and year with a bang! It’s has been a very special one. Thank you everyone for taking the time to look at them.

Happy New Year!

Wishing you a sparkly and bubbly NYE!

collage diet challenge – Day 26

Day 26 of december 2015 collage diet challenge. These pieces all look like creatures to me. I didn’t have much time to spend on these today so they are a bit rushed. I hope I can take my time for the remaining 5 days of the challenge. Holidays are more challenging. It is Boxing Day and I am having another 30% discount an my shop, code goldrushboxing.

collage diet challenge – Day 25 – Merry Christmas

Day 25 of december 2015 collage diet challenge. Merry Christmas everyone. Today’s pieces are inspired by Christmas colors, glitter, sparkles and hanging ornaments as well as super fancy sparkly Dolce & Gabbana bag for a bubbly party. Hope your Christmas is filled with whimsy, enchanting tunes, soft lights, scrumptious meals, inspiring company and creative ideas. Sounds very romantic but these moments are around in their own way. cheers!

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.
