Call them circles, call them dots, use a hole punch, use a template, draw them, scribble them, paint them, collage them. This is all about circles and how we make use of them.
I haven't added much to this group since joining, so I'm tucking in this photo of a pattern I made to paint on a record for Val Herman's vinyl art collection. Since it's round, it counts, right?
I've just posted a Mail Art call about bicycles! Remember: wheels are circles! ha ha ha This is not a challenge all dear circle people! But check out the call and send something wheel-y.
Just came in from sifting through the trash-aelogy pit out back and wanted to share my favorite find with you all! It doesn't get any better than Circles & Rust!
Quite a find, Lynn! You know you can "dye" fabric with rust? Jus wet it with a solution of wate and vinegar then lay the rusted piece on, or wrap around it--leave it for a couple days.....
Jan, I love rust dying! I was thinking I'd try it with these before using them in an assemblage... Great minds! P.S. Got that orange piece with the blue eyes! NICE!
Thanks, Mim!
Thank you, Linda! Glad you enjoyed the pic! I rather like the photo myself, made it my desk top background!
Correction: Lovely orange piece with the blue eyes did not come from Jan, but rather, it arrived from Heleen! This is what hppens when one works from "memory" while sitting with the Grand! LoL! Thanks all for the nice comments about my rusty bits! Hoping to get back to my trash-aeology excavation this weekend, once the rains let up. :D
Linda French sent me absolutly awesome postcard and papers for collage work. Thank you so much!! Your postcard will be on it's way hopefully next week.
Do post it, Grace, so everyone else sees it, too. I will look forward to finding it in the mail. It's coming to me! It's coming to me! Lalalalala, it's coming to me! lol

I'm not sure if I have sent you an orange piece with blue eyes, Lynn!? Are you sure it wasn't Jan, or Katerina, or....?
(Mistery unsolved :-)

Is it Rectangular Art? Is it Circle art? Is it Butterflies-and-flowers Art?
It is MomKat's Art!
Thank you very much, Katerina!!
