Butterfly Collage

Butterfly

I cut the butterfly shape out of primed, painted newspaper.

The painted newspaper had been painted with brushed on acrylic paint

 and then stamped with bubble wrap

I tried the cutout shape of the butterfly over different painted papers I had

just painted today. Most of the papers were just one color and not very interesting for a

butterfly.

But one large piece had different colors on it because I had been cleaning out

brushes on it. Voila!!

It was just right. I glued it on and added the BALANCE word

and the gold glue circle A-L-L-L

on top of painted corrugated cardboard.

Happy Butterfly Day!

Painted Crows

The cutout crow that I used to stamp

or stencil paint around (Yes, the foot tore off after too many stampings)

The stencil shape---I painted around it

on a piece of newspaper that had been

used to brush out paint from a loaded brush

Two sides of the cutout---

on the left the stamp of the cutout bird--

on the right the shape painted around the

paper cutout
