We have new year and last year calender for which I spent lot of times to find is now over.Often I can not just trow them away, mosly I admire pictures in them, at least 80% So, I let them inspiring me to create something new.
For example, I used great nature photography by Yann Arthus-Bertrand from “Earth From Above” calender from 2017 as backgrounds for new stories. I just let colours and atmospehere of landscape to guide my imagination and of course, it is all higly dependant on material I already collected for collage, or picture material crossing my table on that specific day.
Some of them needed time to grow, get completed, and some poped up in a session of one hour, all peaces of picture just jumping me on and asking to be used.
Look at this snail paradise with cauliyflower, it is not a place I would like to walk around, but one can smell wett plants and feel how vivid this place is, full of hidden life.
Karavan picture seemed to be great place where one feel safe to try different poses, show up in different clothes or just hang around and do nothing. Anyway I had fun creating this..
No, this is not Phuket, where James Bond film was made, there is someone there who wanted to hide..I could not resist to give him a place in this beautyful calm lagoon.
Red, red and instead of warmth, somehow agressive, at least thats what came out of it.. Maybe not the best composition, but it helped me to overcome blues I had.
Vienna, art nouveau, and this peaceful place, they realy do not belong togehter, and I was not sucessful in reconciliation of those. I think this one is not so good, but i decided to show also less sucessful works, since this is also part of the creative life.
Since one week I am trying to “produce ” one more picture to show it here but it does not work. In a course of last year I learned to wait, and keep my plan in mind. One have to be patient with him or herself, and wait for inspiration to come. When I relax, and do not urge, ideas are comming, and then, here we go.. New pictures are apearing in mind, and asking to be produced and materialized.
So, I am showing you six collages based on pictures from this callender. I hope you like some of of them, and maybe decide to give your last year calender second life.

Draga Maja,
iznenadjena sam raznolikoscu i brojem kolaza! Dobro su mi dosli tvoji zapisi, da ih pokusam “razumjeti”. Nakon gledanja u mailu, zatim na blogu i na kraju preuzela da ih popratim u Fotografijama. Mozda mi je vid oslabio ali ne vidim detalje sto mi je interesantno. Ipak istaknuti cu West Papua i Wetlands pa Montseratt. Vjerujem da i najmanji “komadic kolaza” na nesto upucije.
Pozdrav mi se vec kolazira, Vera
