Wednesday - Art Table Fun

Actually, truthfully, there isn't a whole lot on the art table this week. Well, there IS, but there isn't. I should clarify that a bit.

I'm in organizing mode, something I do often, about three times a month, to keep my space(s) from getting overly cluttered. I like some clutter, I actually don't like it when everything is put away. I have to see things and then use them. So there IS a whole lot going on, on that table. I do this when I start to organize, putting everything on the table to sort later. And sometimes I stop organizing, make a card or an art journal page or the beginning of one, and then continue.

So, here's why I said that above ... this is the art table as of yesterday ... messy? Maybe. I see lots of creating happening here from painted papers to doodles to making cards. AND I see much needs to be sorted. That shows I've been busy!

A few cards were made. Shown here are two sides of one card.

Here's a WIP.

I have been cutting up cardboard, using some for words, alpha letters, photos for stickers. Some for collage cards. The rest are cut up to be used to paint on with acrylics and probably some of those will be used for collage as well. It takes time and lots of cutting to do this and it's very worth it because I just need to keep myself in paint and not buy canvases right now. I will again at some point purchase canvases but right now I want to use what I have, as I've said often. I have a LOT of cardboard and bags.

All sizes and thicknesses which means some will be great to paint on, some not so much. Those I'll use in some way because I don't throw much away. All free to use and experiment with.

I made some book covers and will fill them with handmade signatures using packaging mostly from Amazon.
