Is it just my imagination, or are you all stepping up the pace in the Collage Art catagory? Wow! As I perused all the latest submissions in the collage section, I was giddy to see the variety and talent on display!

What really struck me was the number of portraits done in this style. So much so, that I almost devoted this week's issue of 'Cut and Paste' to portraits. But I just couldn't leave behind the other fabulous collages I had found. So, everyone gets to share the spotlight again this week.

I still have to point out one particular deviation called Transplant by ~Picket-Fence-Cartel - which is dedicated to her art teacher. I am a sucker for dedications, especially ones for teachers who obviously had an impact on someone. This one really made me want to know the rest of the story.

Another feature this week is by someone who is certainly not a stranger here on dA! *ursulav, well known for her wonderfully whimsical artwork and storytelling, created a collage called Magnolia Warbler. It is accompanied with a great little story about how the piece came to be, and I just adore it. Also, congrats to Urusla, who just recently landed a book deal!

All the others I will leave for you to discover on your own. All of them really knocked my striped socks off this week, for various reasons. Whether it was the random colors and design that caught my eye, or the precision of the piece that was noteworthy... they all keep me coming back to this art form with great admiration.
