Bits and Pieces

By
Jean here today with some junk art  We all love being a bit frugal and this is one of those projects.....

 I started with corrugated ripped from a box.   I misted over some scrap papers to create linear colors on the corrugated.   I then applied torn Glitz Paper.   A Library Pocket was first inked and then partially covered with ripped map pieces and inked with Mementos Ink Pads Moroccan Red and Toffee Crunch.  I also randomly stamped images from our Domino Art Stamps.





I then used Collage image from AP #1029 Vintage Architecture printed on Cardstock cut to fit into the Library Pocket as an insert.   I also cut a 'roof' from another map for the insert piece and glued them together.   I placed a Stamp image on the insert piece for more depth and interest.  
I also used oil crayons to edge the entire piece.

I think it still needs more work and color, I know it's a work in progress.    Scraps, bits, inks, stamps all come together to make interesting ART!



Hope you enjoyed seeing this idea for junk art.

Have a creative weekend!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
