Green Fashion: First Collage

As I mentioned last week, we have a winner of what I like to call the “green fashion schwag.” This month’s collage theme was fashion, and my tweeps over at Vitamin Briefcase won my version of schwag, a free piece of my art. Since April 22 is Earth Day, I thought it would be especially fitting since really, collaging is just a more aesthetically pleasing way to recycle. I hope you enjoy the first installment of the Earth Day collages. I’ll keep going until I run out of paper, magazine inspiration, or rubber cement.

Here’s the deal: This is my first time celebrating Earth Day, so I’m going to do it my own way, by recycling old magazines into something beautiful and new: a collage. Here’s an appetizer of sorts: The first taste:

I’ll be doing an art giveaway once a month. Next month someone suggested medical/health aka “bioart.” What do you think? Is it an awesome idea? Leave suggestions for magazines below. Do you hate it? Speak your mind below and perhaps offer an alternative?

Congrats to Vitamin Briefcase for winning my next collage! I’ll be recycling a couple fashion magazines for the collage just in time for Earth Day. Tonight, hopefully there will be photos from my “green schwag” fashion collaging on Twitter @kaitfoley. The material is from the British magazine Lula, which is pop culture-y, a little artsy creepy, and colorful. Check it out. Let me know what you think of it. You can check out my collages on flickr and if you like, add me as a contact to say “hi.” I won’t call you a creepy.
