I've been playing around with the blog designs abit, trying to get used to all this stuff. I'll probably change it up more than a few times. Just like I used to rearrange my bedroom on a regular basis when I was younger. The possibilities are endless...
So this past August my hubby and I were in Montréal visiting our daughter. What an incredible city! It was artsy everywhere I looked. The buildings, the signs, the people. Even the lamppost was wearing something creative!
One of our stops was at the Museum of Contemporary Art. It was totally interesting--thought-provoking at times, and downright weird at others. Sometimes I just didn't get it. But I did see some pretty rad stuff. One of the pieces I liked was a large work, about 5 feet by 3 feet and it was covered completely in orange one-inch or so circles. I loved it. So I made a card in the same style.
I used magazines to find the orange color, and made the circles with a one-inch circle punch. Glued with good ol' modge podge.
As soon as I started to glue, I wished that I could look at the piece again to see if he placed his circles rhythmically or randomly. I started out very organized, then decided I liked the random glueing instead. Unfortunately by the time I figured it out, I didn't have much room to be random. It turned out pretty good I thought.
I learnt at art camp last summer that even if we use another artist's idea, we need to give credit. My problem is I don't know the name of the artist who made my inspiration piece, so I hereby formally declare that my card is "after the artist who created the orange circle piece hanging in the Montréal Museum of Contemporary Art during the middle of August 2012". Thank you for the inspiration.
