Theme Thursday - Something Round

Something round. That's a theme that could go anywhere: wheels, the sun or moon, coffee cup rings, crop circles, etc. This has one perfectly round button about 1/2 way down on the right hand side. And the metal wire has been curled up so that it is sorta round. To see other art with round things, go  look at the neat works at Theme Thursday.

When Stacie came over Tuesday night, we made this collage, sized about 6.5" x 3". It started off as a piece of cardboard that we covered with gesso. We embedded the button and various other items into the gesso. The colors came from superfine glitters and some Moon Shadow mists. When it was dry I put 2 coats of matte acrylic sealer on it so the glitter wouldn't come off. Stacie plans to use it on a greetings card.


Edit: I decided to do another one. The square with all the circles is a digital piece I did. All the images came from Dover Publications.

  5. I love both pieces, Faye. The beautiful textured gesso collage is lovely (and a mystery to poor digital me) and the stained glass window with its circles and wonderful image is perfect.
