Yesterday my son and I gathered treasures from the park, leaves, sticks, stones, bark, feathers, seed pods, lost buttons, liter, etc. and experimented with collage. Of course spilled glue spanned the surface of the dinning room table and tangled my son's hair, the tidbits from nature became strewn across the floor, and a number of crayons broken, or chewed and spit out, ended up all over the house but it was a fun exercise. However, I think I have learned from this first experiment that less is more. I loved each and everyone one of these items, the shape or color of the leaf, the texture of the bark, the twist of a branch, the story yet to be told of the red button that had fallen from a child's jacket, but in our eagerness to paste them all to the page they became lost in a jumble. Perhaps I will save these pieces and reuse them later as I get the hang of it.
Love and Peace XX
