The is a wonderful store near me that has all these wonderful supplies for school teachers. I love to check out all the interesting art supplies they have. I have discovered lots of interesting items and most of them are very low in cost. My last foray during their summer sale uncovered these blank puzzle cards in several sizes. I wondered what it would look like if I painted several and then scrambled the pieces. I bought the small size just to try it out. Today I came across these little items and decided to see what I could do. I had to use a small box cutter to separate the pieces as they were not totally cut through on the edges, probably to keep them whole until colored. This was a fun little project. I may try a larger version later. The trick will be to cut all of the images at the same time so the shapes can be interchanged.
Neat paintings...
ReplyDeleteI found some of those a few years ago, and i painted Christmas scenes on them for my art students for their Christmas card. they loved them. they were about 4x6 size.It was a lot of fun! (I found mine at Hobby Lobby)
You got very Picasso-esq in the final versions, Myrna. I like them all and wouldn't they make a very cool display?? You are always discovering neat things and you must have the inner workings of a child - open to everything and happy to experience it all!
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative woman you are! Love your puzzles!
ReplyDeleteOh this is just so cool! You are always coming up with amazing techniques--thank you for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteOh this is fun Myrna! The potential of mixing and matching can catch the imagination. I agree, I'm always amazed and amused by the creative things you come up with.
ReplyDeleteI love your sense of adventure and exploration. You never fail to impress and inspire. Thanks so much for sharing. Dorise
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea. The results would make an enigmatic triptych!

ReplyDeleteYou are the most creative person I have known.
Also please check "the telegraph" british paper, it has a video of an artist who is using an I-Pad to paint a portrait of an old man, using the app "brushes", from what I remember of the article he has some portraits in the Tate Gallery using this method. All the best

Blank puzzle pieces - what a great find!
ReplyDeleteI did a self portrait on nine mini canvases (4x4 each) that looked much better when I mixed the canvases up. Fun, fun.
Such a great idea and breathtaking results!
