I’ve decided to get started on my recycle piece. So far I’ve picked the background piece of plastic and have made the Moon. I put fusible on the back of a piece of white see through plastic and attached that to a scrap of Stonehenge fabric. If you look closely you can see some wrinkles in the white plastic. That’s impossible to avoid. I will eventually glue the Moon onto the sky. I think the Moon looks pretty good. Although now that I look at the inspiration photo I’m not sure. Will have to think on this.
This is what I have. The tree is a trial piece to make sure I have a gray that’s darker than the sky piece.
Thanks for reading.

You are off to a great start on your project, Christine;))) I love how your moon came out...nice work hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteDon't be too tied to your inspiration photo. It's a trap I've fallen into more than once, finding myself working too hard to "copy" exactly what I was seeing in a reference rather than trust how what was right in front of me was developing. Your moon is fine, and the fact that you thought so before letting that reference make you second guess yourself kinda proves my point I think. You're working with unusual materials and you must let them speak for themselves. As Julierose said, you're off to a great start. :-)
