50/50 show- progress and update
Today is day 32 (June 18) and I actually have 32 pieces done! So far all were made using paper grocery bags/images as my medium. It is interesting because I am limited or inspired (POV) by the images on the paper bags. I play with bags until something comes to me or I stare at an image until I see something else. I come up with an idea, cut something out, then discover that the left over cut out reminds me of something and off I go creating something else. Or I will have this little piece of scrap, like the way it looks, then at some point remember that it looked like the hand of a robot and use it. At 20 I did not know how I was going to come up with more bag art, now at 32 I am exploring the possibility of adding movement and quilting to my pieces. I already added depth to my images using foam core; it is really interesting where this is all going. I think that I will stay with paper bags as my medium. I have not as yet added cardboard or spray paint to my peices but there are still 18 left to go!!!!
