It’s March again and back for the 3rd year running is the March Break Kid’s Collage Challenge! Proving to be a continuous crowd pleaser, this event helps occupy those little fingers while they are out of class for a whole week.
Drop by The Paper Place in person between Saturday, March 3rd and Sunday, March 18th to sign up for your free collage kit. The kit will contain a variety of decorative paper and scraps as well as a large piece of cotton paper to create the collage on. Just add glue, glitter, stickers, drawings, and whatever else you can find that help transform a pile of paper into a work of art! Bring back the completed collage by Monday, March 19th and have it displayed in store for all of Queen West to see. The works will be on display in the store windows from Monday, March 26th through the month of April.
Only one package will be given per child, under the age of 12. This challenge is for kids only!
In our last post Jaime wrote about the nostalgia of mixed tapes. Well, when I was a kid the big thing was stickers. We all had sticker albums and would collect and covet a wide variety of smelly, puffy, glittery and 3-d stickers.
When I saw this multi-media exhibition by Brian Kaspr and Payton Turner from 2009 it spoke to my inner child who was delighted with the idea! As it states on Payton Turner’s website, each wallpaper pattern is made up of thousands of hand-applied stickers, and can be removed and re-applied in any space. Take a look for yourself.
