So …. during a slow summer afternoon last week at Boheme, I did this to the back of one of my writing journals — you know those composition books that are all black and white and marbly-looking? Yeah, it’s one of those:
I challenged myself to use only what was on hand at the coffeehouse — paper bags, coffee filters, register tape, newspapers, food coloring, coffee for dyeing papers. Oh, and glue. Yes, I keep a glue stick in one of the drawers. Then I gave myself half an hour, just creating what came out of my fingertips first, raw, wrinkly, whatever.
So. Hahaha. There it is. A mixed-media rough draft of sorts.
That is cool! I see there are crossword pages. . .
Nice job! i love the muted colors and the grey of the newsprint mixed together.
I borrowed the copy of “Cloth, Paper, Scissors” magazine I gave my daughter- way too much creativity out there!
Challenges are so great. My own secret new one is to costume “Charlotte’s Web” using only material we already have on hand/leftovers, recycled things from other productions,and thrift store items. Any new fabrics must be either remnants or under $2 yd.
So so cool!!
I love it!
Way cool. It’s amazing the things you can create with limitations. It’s almost like your brain is daring you to be more creative. You could sell that and make a pretty penny, T.
way cool!
I love that!
Is it decoupage? It looks really great.
