From Trash To Treasure, Mosaic Magazine Art
Published on 2012-04-28 06:00:00
Here is a fun, time-consuming, piece that I did for my design fundamentals class. The assignment was to make mosaic artwork with pieces from magazines. Somehow I thought the peacock would be easy but finding the right colors posed most of the problems. And then I kept getting glue all over the place. I kept getting a lot of glue on my fingers, so much so, that the squares wouldn't get off my fingers when I pressed them to the page. I had to keep washing my hands after every five or so squares.

As most of you know, I am going to school right now in graphic design to refine my craft in digital designs.

I of course was not thinking very rational at the time and picked one of my favorite artist for this "Master Recreation" project. I am just in love with his light house painting.

Space bags are magical

I have actually never tried Space Bag products before until they contacted me and asked me to review their high capacity cube. Like a regular space bag wasn't cool enough now they've got this thing! I actually had to open it back up after I sealed it to stuff more blankets and such inside because their was still more room to use after I sucked all the air out of it.
