Backgrounds


Beginning a new six-week session yesterday, we created distressed paper backgrounds.  Many times, it is so hard to face the "blank canvas" so I decided to give this a try!  Above is a background I created before adding any elements of collage...(ooops with the exception of one little green piece I laid at the bottom left.)


I began collecting bits and pieces of paper that I felt were the colors that I want to incorporate in this piece.  Just a start and I will continue going through my stash.  I haven't decided what I want to "say" in here yet.


I had done a couple of sample backgrounds to show the class before they began creating yesterday.  Here is another one.  This way...


or that way?   hmmmm...what is it telling me?


And then another; a demonstration I did in class.


I can't wait to see what the class is going to do with theirs!

Beautiful!! Your Halloween party pictures were adorable...:) Thanks for sharing. Our son-in-law was in a terrible car accident, been busy taking care of the granddaughter. I haven't purchased any new space yet for the blog. I do miss blogging, and visiting all of my blogging buddies. I hope you are having a wonderful day April!Thanks for your sweet words...:)
