Welcome to Second on the 2nd where we take a look back at a previous blog post that deserves a second look.
I decided to go way back for this one. I had considered re-posting my very first blog post but decided this one needed highlighting instead.
The thing that struck me was that each of the items I shared in this post are still prominently displayed and used now 10 yrs after creating them.
Take a look at the original post…
Favorite art piece questionÂ
April 15, 2007
In Art Techniques yahoo group, the question was posed; What is your favorite art piece you’ve created? I was very surprised when I looked back through my photos that my favorite pieces were all created within a couple weeks of each other and even more surprising to me…they were created in 2005 when I just started on my artistic journey. Admittedly all the pieces are all very similar in coloring and design elements…but that makes sense since they were created so closely together. I can’t choose my favorite…the collage hangs in our living room, the clock sits on my desk and the binder keeps all my “important things” also on my desk.
I’m so glad that this question was asked! It gives me a whole new direction to go. I need to go back to collage and maybe work more collage into my altered books and ATC’s.
I can see why these are your favorites…..they are gorgeous!
Thanks for sharing them again….2007 was a little before I started blogging so I have really enjoyed this post.
This are wonderful pieces of art! I can imagine that those are favourites!

I just pulled some favorites out of storage to inspire me for summer of color.
They also have similar color themes to each other

Wow, Halle. I don’t remember these. They are all simply gorgeous, especially the clock. I’m so glad you brought them back because they are all fun. What great art you made, even as you were starting out!!
Thanks for sharing these beauties with us for your Second on the 2nd. Very, very impressive, even 10 years later!
Thanks for sharing these favorite pieces of yours! They are so well done and it is nice to hear that they are still being enjoyed 10 years later!
What a fun look back ten years ago Halle!
A fab first look for me.
Easy to see why those pieces are favorites.
I’m with you on collage…that really is my happy place.

Thanks for sharing these oldies-but-goodies. I like the warm color and retro feel that each of them has.
