Sept from Juliana - crop art


 Juliana's is an idea that runs through my head frequently. Fill up the entire space. I really hope I remember to use this idea for my Nov/Dec mailing - it's so good. The only drawback is that I have a lot of short words in my address. Long street names and long town names are not going to have quite the same effect - but I like a good challenge. 

Also - I have hoarded those circle stamps - and I should probably let them go.

Here's another example of artwork that is super detailed and time consuming. Crop art. Make a picture out of seeds. It's like the sand mandalas except made out of seeds and they are glued down.

LINK to sand mandala in case you don't know what they are.

The crop artist in the video describes how she discovered crop art and how it led to the Smithsonian inviting her to design the artwork for the catalogue for their exhibit on the homespun art that is featured at state fairs.


Here is another example from Mary Gunderson - to show a close up. 



The O and P are fun - the C is ok -- the R doesn't fit in with the others .... how would you fix it?
