365 Collages | Week 20 | Summer Feels like this
What does summer feels like to you, if you describe it in art? This is how it feels to me right now, in collage form. Seven new collages – again.

The whole value of solitude depends upon one’s self; it may be a sanctuary or a prison, a haven of repose or a place of punishment, a heaven or a hell, as we ourselves make it.
John Lubbock
I get a lot of Summer Feels from these collages, and hope you do too. But naming these more abstract patches is getting harder and harder… I raking my brain over here, but so far I’ve managed to give each of the +140 collages I’ve made this year a title.
Here are the 7 collages I have made most recently, for my 365 Collages project. Enjoy.
Oh and please please let me know in the comments how your midsummer was if you celebrate, and which of these collages you like best?
By the Ocean, collage by iHanna.
Sweet Pea, collage by iHanna.
Parrot not in Cage, collage by iHanna.
Parrot Palette, collage by iHanna.
International Contacts, collage by iHanna.
The last one is another bird that is actually neon pink, but my scanner is not very good with neon colors, so you get this;
Colored by the Sunset, collage by iHanna.
You can imagine the sunset coloring him a much brighter pink, can’t you?

Thanks for being here, and reading my blog and leaving me a comment below letting me know which of these collages you like the best – and why? I’m curious & appreciate that a lot. :-)
Wishing you lots of summer feels!
Congrats on finishing Week 20!! This week I’m feeling drawn to “By the Ocean”- loving the pinks, teal, and green combination with happy polka dots! Thanks for sharing your progress with us! Go, Hanna, go! You can do it!!
Thanks for cheering me on, I do need a boost with it right now.
I love your collages Hanna. They give me so much inspiration. Thank you ~~rita
I’m happy that you find my collages inspiring, yay! It’s a long way to 365 right now though…
week 20/+140 pieces of art!!!! wow Hanna!!! your a machine! :-) well done! i think this week i am drawn to Parrot not in a cage just cuz i like the parrot image so much. naming all of these must be daunting….how about using ice cream flavors, flowers, artist names….. even if they don’t “match” the collage, plus, thers always good ole numbers and the alphabet. thank you for sharing, always inspiring!!
Nah, no collage machine here – the struggle is real, but so arethe joy & the wins, right?
Thanks for the title suggestions. I might try the alphabet one. 7 collages on A perhaps?
I love your work. Original and colorful. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Barb for following along on tbe 365 journey!
Such a wonderful ‘summer series’ Hanna, MY summer feels like ‘Sweet pea’ but the sunset collage speaks to me as well. Thanks for stopping by my blog yesterday, have a great day! Love from sunny Holland
Thank you my dear, so happy you found two favorites among this lot. I hope summer continues for many weeks yet!
Your project is so lovely! I like “By the Ocean” best this week. It has such a calm, peaceful effect. Nice work!
Thank you, calming collages sounds like something everyone needs more of.
The ones with the birds are especially lovely! The sweet pea – also. Very bright and cheerful!
Thanks Iryna, birds are always a hit & great focal points in collage. I might do a bird theme soon, or what do you think… you can never have too many birds, right?
I love “Sweet Pea” and “International Contacts”!
