I'm trying to get back into collage. I prefer collage that has a theme or some sort of cohesion. Here is what I did today:
Yesterday's WT-a ticket: I used a ticket from the 2019-2020 Milwaukee Rep season that NEVER GOT USED because of the pandemic.
MMJ2022-the March prompt: If you like mixed media, check out the MMJ2022 thread in the challenges. The March prompt was washi tape; cardboard; acrylic paint of Gesso; fruit; postcard; handwrite or doodle. I included all of them.
ABC16P is for petal: the flower on the postcard and the diecut on the right.
For my collage: I used the back of a spiral bound pad of mixed media paper, a piece of patterned cardboard from a Prego spaghetti sauce box, an old postcard from my Grandpa's collection, made in Germany, cancelled postage stamps, the ticket, washi tape, a gifted diecut, black and metallic acrylic paint and Gesso, some hand writing, which I don't like to do. Yes, I love doodling, don't like my writing. But, because I wanted this to be cohesive, I turned this conglomeration of stuff into my pandemic collage. I wrote, 'Was it destiny to spiral out of control?' and ' Why is fruit (and groceries for that matter) so expensive?', on the bottom left, the number of people confirmed dead of Covid as of today (960,603), and 'the play will go on!' I'm going to add 'I desire peace.' The play I should have seen is called Destiny of Desire. I'm happy to say the Rep is back in business this season. This project was therapeutic.

Lots of wonderful elements Jean and I love how you incorporated current news such as the cost of fruit, covid #'s, etc. Spiral out of control is genius work. Thanks for playing in the MMJ challenge. Happy day and hugs
