The definition of “Collage” is (From the French: coller, to stick) is regarded as a work of visual arts made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. Use of this technique made its dramatic appearance among oil paintings in the early 20th century as an art form of groundbreaking novelty.

An artistic collage work may include newspaper clippings, ribbons, bits of colored or hand-made papers, portions of other artwork, threads, fabrics, photographs, and such, attached to a solid support or canvas.

This exhibit will challenge every Rocky Mountain Stitcher to create a collage in stitches.  This theme brings a challenge to combine a variety in stitches, threads, colors, fabrics and techniques into one work of art.   So take up the challenge and let’s see your beautiful and innovative entries next year in the Prospectors exhibit during the Rocky Mountain Region Seminar, July 9th-12th at the Doubletree Hotel in Denver.
