This project no. 3 & 4 is created out of the HOW magazine paper product advertising inserts from the December 2008 issue.

There were so many great paper ads in this issue I was compelled to make two pieces.

This project no. 2 is created out of the HOW magazine paper product advertising inserts from the October 2009 issue.

I enjoy reading this magazine and often keep the issues for references. And one thing I noticed in every issue were these great paper company ads showcasing some great paper finishes, laser cutting and vivid images. But at the end of the day they were still advertising, so I thought since they are not an integral part of being a reference, I thought I’d give the paper ads a new life in my collage project. My rule is to only use the paper ads, seeing as they are the only ads that are two sided  and do not have articles on the backside.

This is my first posting for my Upcycle Collage Project. This project is where i take ordinary junk mail/paper/advertising and upcycle it into a 4×4 inch collage. My goal is to eventually take all my 4×4 pieces and put them together as a kind of upcycled paper quilt Art.

This project no. 1 is created out of the advertising inserts that I received in my swag bag from the Sony Style Fashion show and Market put on by Women’s Post Media.
