“Floating Leaves” Collaborative Collage: Your Donation Will Benefit Salem’s Community Cats

Emily got the idea to do a mail art collage when she saw the call on Instagram from #uspsartproject.

The project was for one artist to start a collage then mail it to another artist to finish it. So I started it then put it in the mail to Emily and she finished it. (you can see a photo of the collage I sent to Emily here).

It’s a true collaboration.  It’s a combination of Emily’s hard-edged paper and my soft fabric.  The warm oranges and yellows in contrast to the cooler blues.  The blue pops helping to create an inviting interior space behind it.

While the collage I sent Emily seemed to be more about color and texture, I thought Emily’s contribution, while still abstract, suggested elements of a landscape.  I see the water below, a crescent moon and those floating leaves.

Once it was finished Emily sent it to #uspsartproject and they posted it on their Instagram page.  You can see it here.

Then we decided to sell the collage and donate the money to Salem’s Community Cats, the local cat rescue group that spays, neuters and vaccinates feral cats then lets them go.

The Collage is 4 3/4″ x 7 1/4″ and is Sold $20 including shipping. (I’ll take care of Etsy fees and shipping so the whole $20 will be donated)  You can buy it in my Etsy Shop, just click here, or you can email me at [email protected].
