Attention span of a ... what was I saying?I've been wanting to try this technique for a while, because I thought it would suit my enjoyment of creating quickly and spontaneously. And sho' 'nuf, it was a much more organic artistic process with the choice and addition of each piece influencing what happened next.
On top of this, it allows you to use up the small scraps we packrats are so loathe to discard.
I felt inclined towards macro flower images so surfed these for a while. Then I rifled through my various containers of shards and bits to come up with a colour and texture palette that talked 'perty' to me and to the image.
I glued the pieces onto a sheet of clear glass, (much teenier fingers than mine would have been handy at this stage!) and after the glue dried I grouted and framed.
Voilà!
