Well, this made me think and also have a quick look through my bin! I've used 'trash' to make my background rather than adding elements using 'trash'. firstly, i painted the background, then used a yoghurt pot to stamp in paint, then a piece of bread roll, then added the images and used an old used teabag to stain the whole thing and finally using an old net for putting washing tablets into, i did the 'punchinella' type bits on it. (i used so much tea on it, the piece is all crinkled!)
Whoohoo! Love your arch!
ReplyDeleteLovely work Mandy and adore the arch shape
ReplyDeleteOh this is absolutely fantastic...it dosn't look like you used trash at all, then again I think that is the point. Wow!
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed with what you've made with your trash, Manda. The arch looks lovely! I'm still looking for inspiration in my trash!!
ReplyDeletethis is sooo beautiful!!! love your take on the theme!!
ReplyDeleteWow this is really trash. Great work. Love it.
ReplyDeleteStill chuckling over the fact that part of a bread roll was used to make this but the result whatever you used is great.
ReplyDeleteWhow..this is gorgeous...really beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI laughed when I read the bit about tea and bread Mandy!! I didn't go quite that far, but you've made a super job of you arch! :D
ReplyDeleteThis is so cleverly done, it's just great!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, love the shape of your arch.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. Beautiful
ReplyDeleteExcellent idea using 'trash' textures for inking up and I love the crinkled by tea effect too, deliberate or otherwise.
