Flight!

Rainy days send me into solitary persuit. I spent the past two rainy days thinking about and collecting images for a collage which will eventually be reduced as an Artist's Trading Card. One of the possible topics is Flight and one of the possible images is the Da Vinci Flying Machine built by my husband. I am very new to the art of Collage and mine always more resemble an indiscriminate hodgepodge than art. For artful collage cards see Fran's blog, Sacred Ordinary. I now have selected several images but haven't begun the actual collage. It's such a sunny outdoor-inviting day that I will probably push the entire project forward to the next inclement one.

Another indoor time-filler was searching for live web cams in Colorado. I found several--and in the process stumbled onto Tommy's List of web cams around the world. I am amazed at how many public web cams there are. There's a good chance your city/country has one or more web cams. Note: It's much more interesting to view them--and they refresh more often--during daylight hours.

Fascinating machine--and thanks for the plug. When I work in other kinds of collage, they are also hodge podge. For some reason, Soul Collage works for me.

Thanks for the webcam site. I now have bookmarked the Memphis webcam and some Cape Cod ones. Cool!
