PLACEMATS

Inspired by a gift from my friend Kate, I made a set of placemats out of painted/colored drawings collaged with background monoprinted papers, washi tapes, duct tape, and sayings. Kate and my friend Cathwren and I had a delightful afternoon making placemats. After making the original collages, I scanned them and then took them to Office Max to be laminated with extra thick plastic (they are, after all, supposed to be used as real placemats). It was a fun project.

I love to look at the projects you do!! Always interesting and so very different from what I do. I get inspired to diverge!!

What a fun idea. Your collages are wonderful. There are endless possibilities. I think I'll send this link to my daughter and ask her to make some for me so I can use them when the grandsons visit.

Well, aren't these pretty cool! Hmmm. Ideas, ideas. Maybe I'll try some of these for the next time I hope our wino group. Or anything, for that matter. They'd be a fun take-away!

Wow...
Love those placemats!. I'd like to say something like these would make me eat all my dinner, but I don't have any trouble in that department. They would look nice on a wall too.
