Hi, new subbie here. I am so glad I found your channel. I love your collage book and I love surreal, that is what I enjoy doing the most. Those prompts were not easy, but you aced it, can't wait to see more. Tfs xo

Thanks, Elizabeth. Surreal really stretches the imagination. I’m always surprised with what I come up with. Thanks for subbing!

Another very tough challenge, but you came up trumps again. I really like the result from this one. The girl is beautiful, and yes, it does rain a lot in England, especially in the north west where I live.

Hi, Marion. Thanks. I’ve visited south, middle, and NE England, but never made it to the NW. Rain is good for the garden. Here, in NW Nevada 9” a year is considered a wet year.

Great collage, I like the way you interpreted the "wet"

Thanks, Anne! I like to stretch the meanings, especially when I can’t find something logical.

A suggestion. When searching for items, edit that process out of the video. The actual work you do after you get what you want to use is interesting. Looking at a sped up video of things being taken from and then replaced into a box is not interesting. Also, for myself, when I do a collage in this manner, if I come across a prompt that makes no sense in partnership with other prompts, I replace it with a new one. I want to make something I like, not something that defies logic. These collage games like this are helpful in getting us to think about what we choose to include and the manner by which we relate one prompt to another. But, if a prompt is so far out of line with the others, I don't think the world will end if we substitute something else in order to make a collage that is pleasing to the eye rather than something that is merely absurd looking. By the way, I did a couple of collages using Ceri's approach and they were a lot of fun to do!! Best of luck with your project!!
