I am trying to create 365 Collages in 2018. In this post you will find seven new collages for Week 28. When thinking about this project right now, I am asking myself: Who the heck came up with this crazy idea?
It was me, myself and I that decided to do another 365 collages this year, so I have no-one to blame but myself. Darn!
Everyone is tired of seeing the same start of blog posts every week, right? 365 collages in 2018… yada-yada-yada! I’m tired of it. I’m ready to give up, and yet I’m not. I really want to finish, because there is immense satisfaction in scanning seven finished, square collages made on vintage target practice paper, and saying: Yes. I made those. I finished yet another week of collages. I can do this!
Me, myself and I can finish this huge and right now burdensome collage project. Right?
It was Crazy to fall behind
The stupidest thing I did with this project, was falling so far behind this winter when I was just starting out. I can’t even remember how that happened, but probably I was too tired to make it to the studio too many weeks in a row. It’s the “being behind” thing that bugs me most right now, so that is why I’m posting two collage posts each week right now (14 collages a week!), so that I maybe, just maybe can catch up! That would be a dream to me right now, and I’m not that far away from doing just that. Yay!
It’s not a good idea to fall behind when you have to make a collage for each day, because if you fall behind 14 days, that is a lot of work to catch up on.
But it’s not the end of the world to fall behind either. At least that is what I’m telling myself. If you push yourself to work towards your goal, you can and you will catch up. Right?
Here are my seven collages for this week, showing 7 steps of progress:
After the dry spell, collage by iHanna. Extra from week 14.
