May’s theme for A Year of Color blog is Green. Since I am serious about being a more eco-friendly artist, I decided to use only what I had for my project and show the participants you can recycle art. I used an altered canvas I was not very fond of as the background for this newer piece. I also used scrap fabric, which just happened to be green as part of the background. I ten added an image from an old book and finished it off with some buttons I have been saving for journal projects. In sticking with the green theme, I did not complicate the piece with my signature layers. I kept it simple and I love the way it came out.
I hope this inspires you to recycle some of your art you did not initially love when you created it. Sometimes, that kind of art just needs a little extra lovin’.

Katie - I would never have guessed that you reused the background. Looks great — I really like the print on that fabric. I hadn’t heard of a year of color before.
Lu - Here is the link if you would like to access A Year of Color blog. It is $12. Kari has done a wonderful job of making it a rather inspirational site.
