:dipped, painted, and splattered:

taking it a step forward with some paint! the project started with {simple circles} out of recycled paper bags and i have developed it a bit further.  i dipped a few in a chocolate, brown paint and drizzled some sky blue paint on a few others. i spray painted a smaller one white and a two others a bold red. so, i was thinking they would make great wedding or party decorations and some of the smaller ones could be incorporated into a hanging mobile (thanks nikki for that suggestion!).  they will need a bit more thought and design work...

but out of boredom, something of beauty came about today..... they are my {saved}, {reuse}, {green}, {round},{clock}-like, paper art. (still thinking of a 5 letter name for them.. i am still deciding.)

recycled art


recycling paper bags (piggly wiggly bags at the moment) to create wall art and a decorative 'gathering' today. they are random sized circles in a variety of brown hues. its interesting so see the slight variance in each bag and its texture. its just a start to a larger project i am in the process of making. i think i am going to incorporate a little spray paint on the next couple.... should be interesting!  what do you think?
