MFF: 5x7 Collaged Bird Page

Hi feathered friends!

For this swap you'll be creating a 5"x7" piece for your partner and here's what to do:

• prepare a background on a 5"x7" sturdy base (color is sender's choice)

• find a bird template you like

• cut it out

• glue lots of little paper scraps onto the bird cut-out, using different colors to define markings on the bird

• mount your collaged bird onto the prepared 5"x7" background (colors and theme are sender's choice)

• send it winging its way to your partner

Most of us are very proficient at collage; if you have questions about how to create a great looking collage, HERE is a great article from the magazine, Cloth Paper Scissors. Remember to layer pieces atop one another.

Hope you'll join me in bringing your bird to life!
