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!
