Cut and Stick









The results of our morning making collages.  We had bought a stack of old magazines from the 60s from the local junk shop - a diverse range, including National Geographic, History Today, Knitted & Soft Toys.... oh, and a He Man annual.

I thought the girls might not enjoy it as much as I did, or want to stick Moshi Monsters all over them, but they soon got into putting random images together, playing around with them until they found something that made them laugh or looked interesting.

The results aren't quite as eerily beautiful as those of Tracy Jagar, but it was a good 2 hours of cheap, creative fun.

More beautiful cutting and sticking here, from Saffa Barkhordar.
