I decided just to check to see if anyone was still coming here and checking out what I had written. There appears to be some activity so I'll bring it back to life slowly. It would be great if someone were to tell me what they would like to create at home. That way I could get the ball rolling.
Recently, I created a mask to hang on the wall. I went to one of those Dollar stores and picked up a plain wooden plaque. You can also find these at arts and crafts stores as well. I picked it up because it was a dollar. I was going to draw or paint on it and then hang it up. As time passed on I went through my tote of art materials and I found a white mask I had purchased. I took the wooden plaque and I cut the wire that was to be used so it could hang and made it shorter as if I were putting a hook for a picture. This way the wire isn't visible. Next step was to paint or cover the wooden plaque. I didn't feel like painting so I took some colorful paper that some of the discount stores use to wrap glass, dishes and vases. I cut it to the size of the wooden plaque and glued it on. I then placed some black and white polka dot paper on top of that. I lined the mask up and saw that the dots looked like eyes. I then glued the paper on top of the other paper and then the mask on top of that giving it life. I then selected some colored paper that I thought would match and make it interesting. I cut a few scrapes and glued them in various spots. Then I fan folded several sheets and glued them in. The scraps filled in the spots where the fan fold may not have opened enough. The base of the fan folds were glued to the plaque. Some sides were glued to the plaque open and also to the mask on the sides. It doesn't matter how you arrange the fan folds as long as they are glued at the base and your creativity shines. There are many things you can do with scraps of colored paper. Come back to find out more. Thanks for stopping by, now go out and be creative.
