Embroidered Collage

I had never imagined it would grow this much!  Last January this stack of papers began as a simple and regular desk calendar, only about an inch and a half thick.  The pages I created to start it out were pretty flat, but there were 11 people following me in this round robin and it exploded out of the binding somewhere along the way with all the interesting build-ups on the pages.  I've carefully flipped through the pages once so far, marvelling at the different styles and ideas that the participating artists put into it.

In future blog entries I'd like to share a page from each artist with you and acknowledge their contribution.  I'm also in the process of modifying the images of the pages I did so that they will be in a gallery of their own.  I had started one in January, but stopped updating it, so most of the pages are buried in my blog.  And I have some comments on what I learned during the progress of this collaborative project.
