How To Make Lemonade Out of Lemons The Story of A Collage

You never know what will be your inspiration. I’ve been told “save all your photography files, don’t throw anything away!” I believe there is another life for everything that didn’t turn out the way we had planned. As for my photography files, a lot of them go the way of deletion or I would be spending money for a lot of storage!

This though was not the case for Sarah Loft and her collage “Tulips and Violins.” Sarah had some extra “hair” clippings from a magazine that were shaped into tulips she had used in another series of collages she describes as “odd” (sounds like one of those projects artists like myself work on that don’t seem to match up to the original vision!).

She also had left over music magazines that had a lot of pictures of violins with warm wood tones from her two daughters’ years of violin lessons. The warm wood violin cutouts in concert (pardon the pun) with the “hair” tulips created a winning combination for a collage art competition at Fine Art America where Sarah also has a website.
