Reuse Cardboard : Mobile, SeaShells

This is a great summer artproject ! reUse!  REpost !!
...

This summer project, cardboard mobile "shells" was hanged on the outside swing.

First they created the cardboard collage; on a pre cut recycled cardboard they glued squared shape precut cardcoard. After covering one side of the cardboard they turned the cardboard over and glued shapes on the reverse side. This step was repeated at least twice, and then put aside to dry.

 

 

 

The second object on the mobile is made from wavy cardboard. The shape was stapled to create a 3 dimension shape looking like a shell. The wavy side (outer side) is painted with gauche. For the inner side, I added glue to the paint and with a spoon color sand was poured on the object.

 

Foliage Collage and Color Tissue Paper, Henri Matisse

Insired by 'Tree of Life' Stained Glass by Henri Matisse

Using full sheet of semi transparent sandwich paper, glueing leaves and color tissue paper folding in the middle and adding stick for hanging.

Same as we did "Holiday Light, Inspired by Chihuly" artproject , here wool and color tissue paper are glued in side , pressed on a bowl to form a candle holder for the holiday.

.

This is how it lookes when the glue is still wet before forming shape.

I image that using transparent paper would be even more exciting .

Holiday Mobil

Another artproject for the holiday, 2 object mobil using tissue paper, torn white paper , pastels and a disposible degradable plate. 

Below is the combine photo of the mobile, front and back veiw of the same artproject.

After making snake shape pieces from tissue paper they choose either to design a pomegrant or a fish; after glueing the drawing to cardboard they glues the snake shape on photo copy line drawing.

While it dryed they tore white paper making small peices as feathers to cover the prcut recycle cardboard dove, glued the torn paper and added greetings.

The first object was cut and the reverse side was designed with color pastels.

To frame the object we used disposible degradeble plate that I precut the middle, we stapled the object to the plate.

The plate frame makes it easy to put together with a ribbon.
