I started with the background, I had a pic from National
Geographic ( one of my favorite magazines), its an aerial
view I think of a salt sea bed or floor, I just loved the color and
shapes made by nature, awesome..
I cut out the shapes, glued them on, used a gold ink pad
around the edges. Then my muse, slipped right out of my body.
I didn't have any idea what to do next.
These puzzles pieces are the larger children's ones, but still
only a small area to decorate.. Some of them are done brilliantly.
Next time a theme first then the background would be no problem..
It took me a couple of days to find and idea to do them, finding
written words ( from magazine cut ups) gave me the idea..
I do like how they turned out, but theme first LOL..
