I have three new circular collages to share in this post. Not one of my favorites for sure. I thought the prompts were interesting and were easy enough to fit inside the circle. However it is missing a strong focal point. The prompts are: 1. Pattern with contrasting colors (red/green paper behind pocket) 2. Something sharp or pointed (cheddar cheese) 3. Old library card or catalog entry (I had a card pocket from a library book) 4. snippet of a handwritten recipe 5. Clipping of a meaningful or mysterious phrase 6. Bonus: something gray or silver (foil wrapper as background) This one is super simple but it covers the prompts.

That represents the jam prompt. The letter J is embellished with jewel s for another prompt, The jazz prompt is represented by the flapper dancing t...
