I challenged our group members at Artful Mail Groupies to a pop-up art challenge today.The challenge: create art just for yourself using any medium or substrate and using at least one "found" object. Time limit was 45 minutes from start to finish.
So, in the spirit of fun and needing to make something just for me, this is my 22 minute effort. I used two 3x5" index cards glued together, adhered some scrap background paper I had leftover that was painted with Daffodil Yellow and Lagoon Blue craft acrylic and Tulip Fabric paint in Turquoise. I have a whole big sack full of interesting "found objects" and used the first 4 things I pulled out: 2 silvertone hoop earrings, an acrylic heart charm and a clear glass marble. I removed the bale and fish hook wire from the bottom one, and crimped down the little bits that remained so I wouldn't hurt myself later. The charm and the clear acrylic dangly part on the bottom earring are both loose to give the piece motion. Lettering done on a piece of scrap watercolor paper with a Signo Uniball Bold black pen and .05 Sakura Micron pen.
This was a fun challenge. When the whole thing dries thoroughly, I will edge the card with a Special Black Copic marker to finish it off.
Won't you take the challenge too?
