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 23

Day 23 of december 2015 collage diet challenge. I made it to 2/3 of the challenge. I am so excited even though there are days that I feel quite insecure about the pieces I post. Piece #70 has a Persian calligraphy feel to it and I took the cut-out from a pair of shoes. Piece #71 is a Prada bag that I had used here in this piece before, it has a very interesting texture. I was told the last piece looks like a whale. Quite an eclectic mix for today.

collage diet challenge – Day 21- Happy Yalda – Winter Solstice

Day 21 of december 2015 collage diet challenge. Tonight is Shabe Yalda – Winter Solstice – the longest night of the year. I found these pomegranates jewels and couldn’t help honouring this magical night by some playful collages with them as the focus. Pomegranates (also my most favorite fruit on the planet) are beautiful symbols of Yalda, the ancient Persian tradition of celebrating the arrival of winter, renewal of the sun and the victory of light over darkness.  Like a good old Iranian, tonight I am gathering with friends and family, will stay awake past midnight and fill the night with stories, hopefully some poems and indulging ourselves in luscious pomegranates, watermelon and pistachios. Not too bad!

and, this is not like any of my usual work but why not!

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!
