Ready, set – grow! Collage Week 4 of 2025

My seemingly overwhelmingly, too big for words, task continues. I hope to create 365 collages in 2025 : this is the batch of seven new collages made for week 4.

I have been clearing out all my dad’s garden books, and “grabbed a few of them” for collage, haha, so be prepared for a flower avalanche in the coming collage weeks (maybe the entire year). But that’s okay, flowers and me go way back and I think most people can appreciate their beauty.

The washed out baby pink is really neon pink, but of course my scanner does not agree with that color. Maybe I should try to photograph these instead, but to get going with the catch-up you’ll have to imagine how awesomely bright these are! Or, if you don’t love neon pink as much as I do: be glad that your eyes get a calmer version than the artist intended today. LOL.

Snow and ice outdoors right now, but in my heart it’s spring…? Or rather: it is a new season of collage, a fresh collage start, the spring for cut and paste in iHanna’s life. Yay!

Feeling like my collage fingers are thawing from the icicles they’ve been encapsulated in lately… but then when I look at some of these collages I can tell I’m not ready to celebrate just yet. Not ready at all…

But maybe I’m getting there. Doing more collage work means my collage muscles are getting a workout at least.

I feel like I am really shooting high with this project, trying to challenge myself with the sheer number of collages that I need to create this year.

I love giving my artwork funny or meaningful titles, but to avoid the headache of being clever all the time (I just can’t) I think I will try to name the flower collages for what they depict, at least some of the time. Here the main image is a photo from a vintage garden book, featuring Little Lamb’ also known as Panicle Hydrangea (which in latin is called “Hydrangea paniculata” – and who doesn’t love a good latin name?) or at least I hope it is. In any case, I named it so:

I didn’t realize how similar number 22 and number 27 were, but I don’t really mind that as long as they’re not copies. They’re in the same family anyway, using a photo cut in half – so if you can tell they’re relative collages maybe that’s a good thing.

That is the seven collages uploaded.

Thank you so much for clicking over, taking a look and leaving me a comment below telling me which of these collages you like best – and why. Have a great weekend friends.

About this project: I am making one collage for each day of the year in 2025 and blogging seven at a time each week here. I have made that many artworks in a year thrice before so I am hopeful that I can do it again. Please also check out week 4 of 2013 and week 4 of 2018 (where I was already asking the poignant question: Will I be able to catch up?)- and leave me a comment if you find a new favorites along the way. I’d love to know which of these you like best – and why you like it. Thanks for helping me finish this by cheering me on. I appreciate you being here.
