footstool with plastic bag cover

I painted the base of an old brown footstool and re-covered the top cushion with my eco-friendly cover crocheted from plastic bags and stretched over a piece of foam.  A chic addition to any trendy home!!!

Final Project 3D Arts

After looking at the cutouts that Matisse created later in his life, I was inspired by his ideas.  He said, "I am increasingly convinced that everything one wants to express as a painter or as a draughtsman can be expressed simply by making cutouts."  Following this idea of conveying an idea through simple shapes, I am going to cut out cloth instead of paper.  I've decided to use a bird, the cardinal, as the basic shape and theme of the project.  I will stuff bird shapes to make them 3-dimensional and either suspend or install them in a simple landscape.
