One of the best things about collage work is collecting or just finding little things that could otherwise become lost in the world and giving them a home again. It's obvious that each of your artworks tells a story - something that you are so good at, Janice. Thanks for sharing a part of your creative journey and I hope to see more, more, more!

So glad to see you have another blog! I think you did a fine job with your collages. I love them. I, like Lori, think your white space is on the money, something I tend to forget (the white space). The white space adds balance and tends to highlight the other elements. I think we are our own worst critics and I go through the same process when I finish a project. I do the would've, could've, should've game. Congratulations & well done, my friend! Hugs, Julie X0X0X Hi Jan’ice! So glad to see you have another blog! I think you did a fine job with your collages.

You tried and I'd say it was a huge success!!! Too much white space? Not at all!! I think white space is essential in a collage -- it gives "resting space" or "dramatic pause" or can frame the interest nicely. That's just my opinion anyway. ;-p. I usually forget to include white space and think my collages are too *busy* and *overwhelming* like the talk inside my brain... oh well. We're all our own worst critic... so glad you want to do it again!!! Congratulations, you WIN!!! Love you! Well… You tried and I’d say it was a huge success!!! Too much white space? Not at all!!

That would make me very lonely person. I, for one, thought your collages were all extremely well thought out and put together. After all, I watched you fuss over and over as to how they should be.
