This weekend I created and added 4 new art pieces to my wall. They all involve the use of magazine pages, words, letters, or figures. I enjoyed making these because they allowed me to forget about everything going on, disconnect, and just focus all of my energy and attention on one thing. I know for a fact that I am not very good at drawing or sketching or even painting, but I have recently figured out that I am not bad at putting colors and patterns together to create something visually satisfying. The most challenging piece of all of them was the one with all of the hands. This was because I had to cut up small pieces of magazine pages and make it look like a mosaic. this was very time consuming because I also had to ensure that the pieces were cut so that the shape of the hand was clear.

While making these 4 pieces I took my time and ended up listening to a podcast, some of my music, and even watched part of a movie 🙂 I like the addition of the magazine pieces to my wall and I think I will continue to use it and maybe even try mixing it with sketches or paint.
