100 Days Of Collage (Day 19-27)

Days 19 to 27 of my 100 Days of Collage project are all about Blues.

For this group of collages, I wanted to capture the feeling of looking up at the vast summer sky—the endless blues, the drifting clouds, and that quiet sense of freedom that comes with it.

I started by gathering scraps in shades of blue and brown from my ever-growing collection, picking out old book pages, bits of blue fabric, and soft, airy materials like gauge. I layered them together, letting the textures build naturally, just like the sky layers itself over the earth.

To bring in a sense of grounding, I added real tree branches and roots—because when we look up at the sky, we always see it framed by the landscape around us. The delicate threads, mostly in shades of blue, weave through the pieces, adding movement, like the wind threading its way through the clouds.

This whole process felt like piecing together little fragments of the sky, and I love how they turned out.

This second group of nine artworks was all about exploring the play of light and shadow while grounding it in the natural, earthy tones of brown. I wanted to capture the rhythm of nature—where light and dark constantly shift, creating contrast, depth, and balance.
