Trash to Treasure
Last September I showed how to make a fun abstract from unsuccessful paintings. Everyone "shared" some cut up paintings, then put them together on an 11 x 14 backing. Then we had to find ways to unite them all with repetition of pattern , color, texture, and other elements of design.
You can find the directions in the Sep 2024 blog link here:

There were some pretty unique results from today's class; several ideas I never thought of.
Here they are (mostly unfinished):
Vicki
Meg--pulling it together by repeating the orange in some bird stencils.
Sarah: using stencils for the GRID first, then using a green leaf
stencil to unify the pattern, then collaging on the stencil itself.
David's: Love the color balance and the use of smaller shapes within shapes
Barb, using some ink to create unique designs..and some gold for the peacock
Here are Meg's complete paintings with background done first.
Vicki, from last week's project: Here busy background is united with
a honeycomb stencil overall, then grounding it with black bee and flowers.
