These are both pieces that I did a while back. The top piece is a weaving project that our teacher assigned. I added spray adhesive in hopes of sealing the project but it went terribly wrong and the pieces ended up all tangled and tattered. It took me over 2 weeks to weave all of the tiny strips of paper together, and it was ruined! Oh well, the other piece is an incremental gradient portrait of Eleanor Roosevelt. Again, it took me a pretty long time to do. I am not crazy about either of these pieces, but I figured that I would upload them anyway.
Thanks for posting. People learn the most by reflecting on what didn't go exactly how they were planned.
ReplyDeleteAs we all know i love the eleanor painting. This inspired me to do a self portrait using the same technique. I like the color scheme used in yours a lot.
ReplyDeleteLove your weaving. It may not have ended the way you originally intended, but if you look at it with "new eyes" you'll see a fun piece with potential for even something greater!
