There are lots of times when paintings and good ideas just don't pan out and are unsuitable for completion. Instead of tossing these pieces into the recycle bin, I cut the whole painting up (usually a sheet of watercolour paper) into small 5" x 3.5" or 4" pieces. Then I just gather them all up and set aside until I need a handmade card.
These little gems come in handy for backgrounds, add ons and full mini paintings. I get to create a unique, one of a kind, mini work of art that can be made into a card that is personal and contains a little piece of you.
Here is a sample of one of my "little gems" before and after.
Until next time....happy creating
