Kayc's Challenge: One of these thing is not like the other...

Confession time!  I'm currently obsessed with the HGTV show "Flea Market Flip."  You have to tell me you've seen it because it was made for me!?!  Thanks to Netflix for making it readily available, I watch in to the wee hours of the morning.

So... where am I going with this you ask?  One of the challenges on the show is to Take two completed unrelated items and make them a pair.  Can you guess where this is going?

I challenge you to make a pair out of two totally unrelated items.  You can use anything you have at home or something you see when you are out and about treasure hunting.  Because you are you, I know that you won't have any trouble completing this on time.

There are already some great existing pairs in the world, for example:

Whiskey & Ginger Ale
(Clink, clink, slurp.....* burp*)
 
 
Batman & Robin
(Only REAL men wear tights!)
 
 
Barbie & Ken
(Real hair!? Come on Ken, you look way better in plastic waves with paint highlights)

Or the curious pairing of Schmidt's Summer Sausage and donuts, seriously, our Dad is weird!

Challenge Details:
Create: A Pairing of Different Items 
Medium: Determined by You
Time: You have until Saturday, November 1st

Do you accept?

KAYC'S CHALLENGE: Art will be art...

I consider myself creative, but there are times when I lose my drive or I need some new inspiration and I go to my notebooks.  Over the years I have filled numerous notebooks with clippings from ELLE, Nylon, Fitness, Vogue, HGTV Magazine, ELLE Décor, Country Living... there are just to many to name.
 
When I read a magazine, I rip out anything that I find inspiring, unique, creative and start a pile.  Once a week I go through my clippings and glue them in to my notebooks.
 
When we were younger we used to make our own collages by taping magazine clippings to our walls and I want to see if you still got it!?
 
This week, I'm challenging you to create a COLLAGE!  My process is incredibly straightforward, but there is no doubt in my mind that you will create something extraordinary!
 

collage                          

noun

2. a work of art produced by this technique.
Compare assemblage (def 3).
 
3. an assemblage or occurrence of diverse elements or fragments in unlikely or unexpected juxtaposition:
The experimental play is a collage of sudden scene shifts, long monologues, musical interludes, and slapstick.
