cracking on with the HEART the ART catch-up process, here is my page for week #17: THOUGHTS:
(yellow glossy cardstock saved from a brochure; rainbow pattern & "la cabeza" from vintage books; a bit of an old nyc subway map; martha stewart butterfly punch used on scraps of patterned paper, old maps, chinese text, a mini calendar, play money, etc; sei & karen foster letter stickers--& a few oultines; hero arts glass beads; copic outliner; colorbox ink; uhu gluestick; 3m foam tape; manual typewriter)i started out with this cool brain illustration from a vintage spanish text book i found at a booksale, and that fun "rainbow graph" from an art book. i cut the rainbow paper just slightly larger than i needed to fill my page, sat down at the typewriter, and just typed whatever thoughts came into my mind. then i cut it to size, made my little collage, and added the title letters. i actually thought it was done then, but at the very last minute i thought of adding the butterflies...and i'm glad i went with that because they're my favorite part!
i have to say i am very pleased with this one; considering i started out with no idea of where i was going or how i would get there, i really like where i ended up!

ReplyDeleteWowza ... you're right, the butterflies make the page ... and can I say I am jealous that you have a typewriter to type your random thoughts ... fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and perfect interpretation of the idea of random thoughts - just typing whatever came to mind. This came together beautifully.
