Let your imagination soar! I have a wall that needs "something celestial" and I thought you might too! So I came up with this idea...

This is to be a frame-ready, altered photo art project.

Step 1:

Using several different vintage black and white or sepia toned photos, turn regular people into celestial beings by adding wings. (I plan to use about 8 different photos for my collage.)

Step 2:

Then arrange the photos to make a 8 x 10 collage. Adhere your collage onto a 8 1/4 x 10 1/4 sheet of cardstock so your partner can place your artwork into the frame of their choice.

Step 3:

For hearts, embellish your artwork (for instance, if your partner likes mermaids embellish the tails with glitter or rhinestones...be creative, sorta like a scrapbook looking page)

Step 4:

Creatively sign your artwork, so it can be seen but discreetly so it does not take away from the beauty of your creation.

Swappers please tell us below what type of vintage photo theme you'd like your partner to use ie. mermaids, school marms, fairies, families, babies, men, flappers, swim suit babes etc. ALSO, since some partners will use colored embellishments, tell us below what colors you'd prefer us to use, so it will match its destination room--if you're particular about matching.

This is an international swap. A 4.5 rating or better please. No resent no-sends. Have to have at least 5 rated swaps (not including email swaps). PLEASE, PLEASE PUT YOUR HEART INTO THIS PROJECT. Have fun!

I LOVE FLAPPERS! Please use vintage FLAPPER photos in my collage. Thank you!

Oh, I almost forgot (if you plan to use colored embellishments) the room in which the collage will be hung is BLACK, WHITE AND PINK/ROSE.

If you want it to fit comfortably in an 8x10 frame the finished size should be 8 1/4x10 1/4. There is always a little lip that holds the picture in place and if you make it too small the thing slides around and you end up with some white space.

I love couples and children on paper moons or paper stars, you know, those posed pictures for parties and such, where they're supposed to look like they're on the moon? Aside from that little hint have creative fun, anything goes.

Thank you Weyrmistress for that frame-ready tutorial! :) So if you make your collage 8 1/4 x 10 1/4 it should fit perfectly. Try it in a frame before you permanently adhere your collage to the cardstock, to make sure it fits.

Fairies and people like celestialfreak said sitting on moons etc.I love sepia and black and white too but a touch of colour is nice.

I like pregnant women, mothers & babies (I'm a midwife), water, rainbows, & butterflies... B&W and sepia are wonderful & a bit of color is always welcome! (OK-- I like pretty much anything!)

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to the VINTAGE PEOPLE WITH WINGS COLLAGE SWAP!

Personally, I'm having trouble WAITING for my partner assignment! I've already collected shabby chic kinda accents. I CAN'T WAIT TO START on my collage. I hope everyone is having fun thinking about your overall design!
