This collage is my most popular one on Flickr. Before I started thinking about it, that fact was a mystery to me. I've made several collages that I've been more happy with ... Collages that I thought people would like more. But out of the 129 collages I've put on Flickr, this one is what people like the most. But it's really nothing, I thought, it's just a list of things I love (go to the flickr page to read the notes), and some squares of color. And then I thought that that might be it: It doesn't get better than what happens when I let anything happen.
In a spontaneous comment on the collage's flickr page, I wrote this: "I am so amazed that there are so many of you liking this and adding it to your favorites. It is my most random collage, my most spontaneous and unplanned, I had no intention whatsoever to make anything beautiful. Now it is my most popular one, and it seems to be inspiring, too. I think there's a lesson concerning my worries and efforts about 'making something beautiful' for me there."
Just wanted to put that here too. That lesson is one I should think about more often. Hm ... I have a feeling there will be more on this subject later on, once I've found the cure for this collage drought of mine. Or maybe thinking about that would work as a cure?
