A few weeks ago I featured a piece of my artwork in which I used a page from a book as the canvas.
....Have a look as it is pretty interesting to consider all the possibilities.
Anyway, here is another.
And, I LOVE this as an option for drawing patterns (that I teach using the Zentangle art method) as well as incorporating the text and more embellishments. It is FUN to see how quickly this piece is transformed into a multi-dimensional original and playful work of art.
