#Collage365 New Daily Art Project: Mixed Media Collage

I  have committed myself to a new daily art project - a collage a day for a year! In the past few years I have  participated in a daily drawing challenge and found it incredibly motivating, insightful, educational and at times challenging. I am adhering to a small format for this project, 6"x6" and under, and focusing on strengthening my composition skills while experimenting with new and interesting mediums as the project year progresses.

Having completed the first week (gulp), I am already feeling the benefits! So much fun and it is a great feeling to finish a piece of art (regardless of size) every day as I tend to go on and on and with my artwork!

My daily mixed media collage creations may be viewed at my #Collage365 Project blog.  I am sharing each post daily on twitter, Facebook and Google+.

Hope is the Thing with Feathers

 

Hope is the thing with feathers 

That perches in the soul, 

And sings the tune--without the words, 

And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard; 

And sore must be the storm 

That could abash the little bird 

That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land, 

And on the strangest sea; 

Yet, never, in extremity, 

It asked a crumb of me.

- Emily Dickinson
