Recycle Art Contest Entry

What is the most beautiful thing I throw away?

Seed catalogs.  Piles of them.  I don't even know why I get so many.  I order from one or two and get thirty-nine others.

Maybe not thirty-nine.

But they are numerous.




It is fun to look through them and dream (heh, as if my weedy clay garden could even grow most of this stuff successfully).  And it's fun to cut up all the pretty pictures.





I cut lots of petal shapes and played around with a pattern.  Looking at the photo now, I can see I should have stepped back from it a few times and placed some petals better.  And maybe I should have used more, or bigger, or put them closer together or something... not sure.  But it was fun to play.

  1. Every time I've gone through those catalogs, I've envisioned a decoupage done with them... lol fun!

  3. It is good to take the time sometimes - especially if you have been thinking of the project for quite awhile. I'm glad you did it Katie. I like your spectrum.
