HAVING FUN WITH ART CARDS
I used to tell my students that artists were among the first re-cyclers. We can find artistic uses for a lot of discarded material and I've been doing that with a series of Lady Cards.
I use an acrylic paint to create women in all their diversity. It has been fun to watch these "ladies" evolve. Here's a look at some of my latest batch where I am recycling old upholstery fabric swatches that I found in a thrift store. I've also used cardboard, old coffee cups, ribbons and more.
I start with a partial face
Then I start to work with the fabric
I started out just playing around, trying something, not sure where it would lead.
There are times when I need a break from painting or ceramic work and this kind of project is just fun.
It has also been fun to watch the faces, styles and hair evolve.
In a future post, I'll present more of the collection
Thanks for visiting.
I love these cards, just wonderful!
