Magazine Art

One of the first things I did with my new-found free time was create a Pinterest board of projects I wanted to try out. One of the simplest and boldest trending ideas is making simple, bright silhouettes from colourful old magazines. The original post that I saw can be found here, at ilovedecoration.com. I shredded my magazine strips and found some outlines to trace onto card, choosing a butterfly.

Instead of cutting my strips to fit the shape, I stuck them all over the reverse of the tracing, overlapping the pencil borders, and then cut my shape out with a craft scalpel afterwards.

Easy, and I might even find a use for the negative.
