Challenge November 23rd, Rusty nails, bottlecaps, pulltabs and paperclips

[Kim Newberg aka imagesbykim]

This is a theme for recycling.

This is not an easy challenge, there are many stipulations to this art challenge.

1. Create any type of art piece you like using your distressed papers created loosely based on the Distressed paper tutorial as posted here.

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

In signing up for this challenge, you will receive 2 collage sheets sent by email that you may or may not decide to use in your art creation.

You are free to use any other images you like.

2. Your art piece must contain at least one recycled item:

Rusty nail, bottle cap, pull tab, paperclips.
and...you can use them all if you like.

You can create more than one art item.

3. The title of your art piece must start with the words

In my world......

and you complete the sentence as you see fit.

4. Once completed, please post the photo of your art item here on this post.
A brief description of how you created your art piece would be wonderful along with the completed title of your art.

Sign ups I have so far are:

Lydia
Carolina
Pat
Nelly

Heather
Carita

If you want to sign up please do so in a comment here so that I can send you links to your collage sheets.

This challenge will be on going and remain open til Sunday midnight CST December 14th
This will allow for plenty of time to make your own papers, print your collage sheets and work on your one or many creations.

This also allows plenty of time for any newbies to get involved.

There will be a final vote for your favorite piece and the winner will receive a goody pack choice of an art piece from me and some additional ephemera art papers.

Although I will participate in the challenge for fun, I will not participate in the vote for a favorite.

Have fun, happy creating!

((((hugs))))

Well I finally have a finished piece to show you.

Here is my challenge art called:
In my world I am King of recycle and reuse.

Created on a 4.5 x 7 matte board I used a vintage image, my background paper is the original black that was distressed with bleach and copper paint. I then used a variety of the ephemera from the collage sheets including the coins, rusty name plate, and the King's crown. I added some glitter for gems on the crown.

The rusty items, I used them all, the bottle cap, a rusty nail with beaded top for his royal scepter, 2 paperclips hold a paper coin roller (actually glued) this paper holder holds a tag that has two pull tabs glued on each side and strung with a fibre tie. When you pull the tag out, one side says recycle, the other side says reuse.
A couple of other bits used were some kind of metal piece and a broken part of a ruler.
Backside is finished with distressed music sheet, title and artist info.

There you have it! Enjoy!

You asked if I used coffee for my butterfly stamp. No, I used the Jim Holtz' Distress Ink in Tea Dye. Looks like it could be coffee, you're right. Thanks for your kind comment on it. I'm so glad you're pulling all the creations together. Can't wait!

Kim, your Kingly Highness is superb. My favourite part his is stick/sceptre thingy - very clever and beautiful. And the pull tab for the tag, again very clever. It is to laugh. And decorating the crown, I will have to decorate my crown next time I use it. Looks like you had a fun afternoon.

[Donna]

Kim your piece is amazing! I love how you were able to use all of the items, and how they tied in so well the piece. I too like the jewels on the crown. I can't believe you did that all in a day. Thanks for the challenge and showing us more of your wonderful work.
