Abstract Paper Projects

A quick class on creative ways for using up some of the paper laying around in boxes just waiting for a project. 

My favorite papers are created with deli paper, a brayer, and fluid acrylics so I used these in a couple of my projects.

I just absolutely love to create using strips of paper.

Torn Paper  Abstract Collage.  I was never happy with the colors in these papers so I had no problem tearing them up to use in a collage.  The picture doesn't show the metallic paper well but it does add shine. I love collaging with deli paper as it lays so flat.

Project 3  Leftover Cut Paper Pieces. I haven't saved any paper pieces that I could use in this project but I do have lots of die cuts made and never used.  I added these leftover die cut frames to an experimental watercolor that I saved because I liked the colors but not the composition.... the addition of the frames made it work for me.
