    ka9sdn, you can find inspiration anywhere....The horse was actually a sculpture made out of ceramic tiles that I once saw on the internet.

    I've also done collages from stained glass windows.

    I suggest you take a picture of you piece once it is laid out and check for holes or colors that stick out before you iron.

    Glassnquilts, thanks for the idea of taking a picture before completing! I love both of your pieces but especially interested in your seahorse. That is the pattern I have and have begun gathering fabrics for him. Really like all of the sea shells you used and the little sea creatures! Great work.

    These quilts shown are awesome. It's on my wish list to try...It looks more artistic than I'm capable of so I've avoided it for now. Looking forward to seeing your creations...

    I made the owl from Laura Heine's work for my granddaughter and enjoyed doing it. It turned our nicely and she loves. I would like to do some more in the future. My quilt guild will have a workshop later this month based on the work of another collage artist. I am thinking about doing that one.

    Lucky you...I’m sure it will be a fun retreat. I haven’t done a collage project yet, but it is on my 2018 list of trying something new to me. You’ll have to share your experience after your June class.

    Wish I knew how to post pictures/ I did a Pink Flamingo and I did a bear. The bear I did in puzzle pieces for my daughter. She collects bears and my granddaughter is Autistic. Covered both bases.
