Description

This started out as an abstract background of crossword puzzles and checkerboard patterns glued onto a 16x20 sheet of watercolor paper. Before covering the entire sheet I decided to make It into an irregular shape by cutting out the remaining sections of the sheet that were still blank. Then it seemed like a face might be interesting, so. I “Humanized” it . Eventually I may mount this irregular shaped “scrap” onto black poster board, but placed it on my driveway to take this photo.
This might be considered a “Recycle” job. Since I didn’t like the way the original design was progressing, I chopped it into a Scrap and saved what was left from going to the Scrap Yard.
