September’s challenge is Celestial / Le défi du mois septembre est Céleste

By Laura Peck Ah Ah ! 

Firstly, I learned that hodge podge meant méli-mélo. 

Secondly, This amazing word totally  describes the process I am using as I prepare for the Mini Merry juried show of the Cline Gallery in Cornwall. 

– I selected stamps – they all are about Christmas  

– I chose to make them as a background

–  I then pick among a limited variety for the letters. 

This one turned out as Peace and Joy. It’s the second of the series of 5 which I just finished last night.

This morning, I feel peaceful. Will I be joyful when the gallery announces their choice? 

By Milo Smith For the challenge I went rummaging for something suitable.  I came across this image taken at the Lost Villages Museum. 

The items  are truly mixed.  The old Empire typewriter, the Eaton’s catalogue from 1927, the Seaway commemorative plate from the 50’s, and undated but obviously old portrait, the blue glass “thing” from the 50’s again and, of course, the furniture.  Images like these make visiting museums interesting.

By Susan Irving Here are a couple of photos for Hodge Podge.  The first, Assortment, is some interesting stuff that was left in the garage when we moved here.

The second, That Thing,  is something we discovered in the woods behind our house when we first moved to Green Valley. It has since been taken away for scrap. Not really sure exactly what it was!

I’m an Antique was taken at the flea market in St. Telesphore. I spent an afternoon there just taking photos of ‘stuff’.

The Bazaar started out as one thing and morphed into this. It’s a hodgepodge of collage. 18 x 14″ on wood panel.

What Goes ‘Round just happened in play, a méli mélo of collage, acrylic, mark making on watercolour paper mounted on masonite. It lounges in my studio wondering if it’s finished and worth the cost of professional framing.
