this is what the ginormous mat board was for last week…
and a closer look :
this was for my design class. our original assignment was to take a shape (either a 4 inch square, triangle, or circle) and cut it apart to make a new design. after that, we were assigned to make an even bigger creation using repetition of the previous design.
it took me about three hours to cut the design out of white drawing paper with an exacto knife, then at least 4 to 5 glue sticks to get it all mounted down on the black mat board. i loved every minute! i added the diamond shapes (you can see these better in the close-up view) last. i glued them down on top of the design and cut away the parts that were over-lapping so that it would look like it was behind the main design.
it’s really quite simple, but i’m very proud of it
