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 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.

collage diet challenge – Day 11
Day 11 of december 2015 collage diet challenge.  These guys look like little creatures. The description beside the cut-out for the last piece said: “pack a punch!”, recommending a glazed crocodile skin tote for attention and getting noticed (on the carousel)! So I am packing a punch.

collage diet challenge – Day 10
Day 10 of december 2015 collage diet challenge.  Today my Vogue musings brought me to these lush feathery leathery Christian Dior heels.  I had a show a few years back titled: I am a fashionista. This is how I wear it. This is how I am wearing my Diors today 🙂

collage diet challenge – Day 9
Day 9 of december 2015 collage diet challenge.  As you can see I got lost with #28  – the second one below – and didn’t know how to make it back. I was tempted not to post it but again, I don’t have to be happy with every single piece. I made it to 30 pieces.

collage diet challenge – Day 8
Day 8 of december 2015 collage diet challenge. The first two pieces took forever to come through because I was trying something different. I have to experiment more with this composition.
