With my new art assistant, Kumo, in place, I managed to get back in to the studio after my move to Peach Cottage and complete our first Collective Collage!
The attached photos show Kumo and your lovely cards of support and the many images and quotes you have sent in, in addition to the big box of calendars I have received from one participant.
The majority of people supporting this initiative dear to my heart have been family, friends and previous art students of mine. The response has been overwhelming in a good way and I feel inspired to keep creating new collages with the abundance of materials at hand.
So, it is not too late to join in or tell your friends about the CC project to support and empower women leaving abusive relationships! You can be involved by emailing me for the participation info (artaccess@shaw.ca), sharing this blog on fb or talking to friends about it.
Meanwhile, I am also ready to announce the first winners, yes, you read right, plural, because a group of four sent in their contributions collectively and since I can't tell who would have been the #15 participant, they all win (see below:)
Back in the studio...yeahhhhhhh!:)
Kumo, the art assistant or better supervisor
Your cards and contributions....
Almost there....
Completed Collective Collage :)
What now?--Should we do another one?
And
the winners are: Terri, Maddy, Nancy and Beverley!!!! Yeahhhhhh....you each will be mailed an art card of the final collage and will also receive an invitation to the art show next year, once we know it goes ahead! Congratulations and thank you sooooo much to The Winners and all of you who have participated in this project, as far as from Germany, that allows me to do the two things I am most passionate about in life: to create art and to give to others! ~We are all one~
Blessings,
Susanne
