To stimulate creativity,
one must develop the childlike inclination for play
and
the childlike desire for recognition.
~Albert Einstein
When I think of creating colorful painted backgrounds...
the word
PLAYFUL
comes to mind.
I took these, along with a few other backgrounds I had created.
Cut them into strips
and
weaved them together.
Creating this paper weave.

Play
is an important element in discovering who you are!
Have a playful Tuesday.

ReplyDeleteooo love the polkadots! As an art therapist we've done weaving a lot to explain how different emotions are woven together just like the different designs.

I agree, this is a great example of emotions woven together.
Great idea - I think I know now what I will be doing this afternoon! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteApril these back grounds before you cut them into strips were beautiful & now they are stunning with the weave I can imagine this is quite therapeutic
