I love looking through seed catalogs this time of year. Thoughts of digging in the dirt, feeling the warm sun and enjoying a bountiful harvest in January is like water to a thirsty soul in Ohio right about now. I have been having fun combining several interests by creating ‘Seed Catalog Art’. I get to feed my gardening hunger by browsing through the seed catalogs, have some fun with my art and recycle all at the same time. I am including a couple examples of my Seed Catalog Art collages using seed catalog pages, recycled and found materials such as homemade paper, old barnsiding frames, cardboard and even weeds and dried seeds. I’ve used my own artwork in my collages but seed packets and catalog pages work fine too.
A Big Sky Day
I saw a glorious sky this morning. I tried to keep my eyes on the road long enough to get my kids to school so
Cool, Sue! I especially like the one with the fruit. It would look beautiful hanging in a kitchen.
Thank you Sarah. They are fun to make and I think the texture of the recycled cardboard and homemade paper add to the over all look.
