The USA only version of this swap:

For this swap we'll attempt to do it like Jill Stoll. Jill Stoll is a fabulous collage artist. There has been a quote from her on our group page since forever "Collage is a hoarder's art." Her philosophy and her art are great!

Let's try to "channel" Jill's style. What do you see ...

*repeating patterns
*repeating shapes - familiar and unusual
*symmetry
*balance
*subdued color selections

What else do you see in her style? Comment below to help one another identify what it is about her collages that make them so unique. I can see one of her collages and know right away that it's her's.

Here is her website

And here is her instagram page

Creative Collage General Rules

The focus of the art should be collage, but feel free to use other media and techniques.

Postcards can be any size but no smaller than 4 x 6 inches. Apply proper postage depending on size and bulk.

This is sender's choice so you can begin now.

Create something wonderful.

Be sure to write the name of the swap and your swapbot name on your postcard so you can get rated.

Remember to rate! That's part of the fun of being at swapbot.

Thanks and have fun.

I have been reviewing Jill's style. Most of her pieces are neutral based with a small splash of one color. She uses book text, maps, ledger paper, graph paper a lot. These are used for the neutral material in her works.
