I am probably going to open a new thread for finished pieces to submit... so keep an eye out for the post. That's where we'll be judging your piece from the finished photos.

This one was my favorite I saw, it came in 2nd place I do believe:

Status: offline 		As promised I have some more Wip pictures of my Eco project. 

I'm attempting to make a mosaic/collage/wall hanging. LOL



I started by sketching onto some left over cardboard my basic design. Then I used the scrap piece of black felt to fill in the background.



Then, as I pointed out to Shannon this morning, things got sticky, very sticky. Can you tell what that middle part is suppose to be?

And here is where I'm at now:



I'm going to use some Hemp thread, if I can find it, to hang the final piece. For now I'm using ordinary embroidery thread.

Will post some more Wip pics next week before the final piece is due.

I think it might end up being so ugly that it's beautiful in a strange, quirky way. LOL

That's very cool what you're making. You actually just reminded me of an artist that I came across in Philly... she cuts up credit cards and makes them into art. It's cool stuff. http://www.amyorr.net/

Status: offline 		Sure. I'm glad I saw her in person, because I got to see how she does it. She actually sews the plastic onto fabric... as if it were a sequin or a flat bead. It's interesting. If modge podge continues to vex you, you could try something like that, but that would mean you'd have to switch to a fabric or canvas background, and then I don't know what you would do with the stones. :)

John, thank you for sharing that site... I think that is very inspirational... I wonder what Visa and Chase think?

Here are some WIP pix of my stuffs.

first I cut the trash bag (not one used for trash but to transport my clothes from old house to new house) in a giant spiral so I have a long black plastic string.

I then used a daisy maker from the 70's to make a trash bag daisy.

Status: offline 		my original plan came off super tacky lol so I had to rework my idea a bit.

originally the daisy was going to be a pin, with the letter from the keyboard in the center - but the proportions were way off and it looked "badly recycled" so I dug up a small oval box to throw into the mix. It's one I was gifted but hasn't really fit anything so far creatively till now.

Status: offline 		I took off the hardware and I'm painting it black.....

I'm also drilling 4 holes in the bottom for the feet but more on that later...don't wanna give it ALL away.

Needs a second coat on the outside. Not going to paint the inside as I have a something special for that I found also that's perfect.

I'm really hopin I can get this done by the deadline lol *crossin fingers*
