Assemblage Collaboration with Sunday School kids....

This was a fun project that we did for an upcoming Art As Prayer Show at Christ Episcopal Church, Delavan, WI.  I found the barn boards at a local place, already stained various colors.  Then cut them to different lengths, using the cut off piece for the heads.  Drilled some holes for the eyes and mouth.  Some of our Sunday School kids stayed after Church for a few weeks to help with this.  The kids decorated the heads of the people, and the hearts.  I attached them all together, added drift wood arms, and when we displayed them, we had them on blocks of wood, and slid some wooden shoe stretchers underneath to make it seem like they were wearing shoes. 


 “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all 
one in Christ Jesus.”   Galations 3:28

Jesus loves the little children, 
All the children of the world
Red, brown, yellow, black and white
They are precious in His sight.
Jesus loves the little children of the world.

Goose Gal and Hatchlings

This is a fun assemblage, body part swap... used a neck and head of a goose, that was on a basket, and the body of a doll.  I merged them using black and white tissue paper, mod podged onto the body and neck.  Added some features to make the feet look webbed, added feathers, and she was transformed!

I also took some plastic Easter Eggs, and cut a mouth into them, modpodged with red tissue paper inside, and black and white on the outside.  I added teeth, legs, and feathers, and the hatchlings were born... well, partially born. Heh!

I made a nest out of some sticks and a recycled placemat, on a turntable for them to live on.

This may become part of my "cabinet of curiousities" I am slowly working on.
