Fun and Fabulous Art

One of my best friends –Rachael Skidmore- has an amazing blog (go check it out at www.itssimplelove.blogspot.com), where every Friday she post a “Fabulous Friday Find”. A little while back she found this fun little gadget that I would like to share with you. Provided by flickr, with this little toy you can pick up to ten colors and flickr will go through millions of pictures to make an incredible collage for you. For people who are very visual- like me- this gadget can offer hours of fun.

Multicolr Search Lab - Idée Inc.

Below are a few examples of what it can do:

So go ahead and try it. You just might enjoy what you see.

Another really fun form of art I have recently learned about -last semester in school- is Mixed Media Collages.

 Mixed media collages are made with:

photographs, old news paper articles, books, fabrics,

metal, trinkets.

Basically, anything you can think up can go on a mixed media collage. One of my favorite MMC Artist is Michelle Caplan. To see some of her amazing pieces visit her blog at http://michellecaplan.blogspot.com/

Below are some amazing examples of what mixed media collage has to offer:

I think they are amazing and I can only aspire to be this creative in my chosen form of art.
