Upcycle / Found
Stuffies:
Turn old fabric scraps into stuffed animals, pillows, or patchwork quilts. If you can't, put the scraps into frames to make some wall art, or to use as backgrounds for framed photographs.
The stain remains:
Instead of tossing a stained garment out, turn the stain into a piece of art or something decorative. Embroider its shape, doodle it into a figure or flower. Anything you like.
Pebbling:
Drop some tiny rocks, rice, seeds, or something else on a page and draw around it. Turn the resultant shape into something abstract, a map, the outline for a physical poem, etc.
Soundwaves:
Find an online tool (if you need to) to generate some soundwaves with, and use them to create something else - fill in the wave forms with images, colours, patterns, words, or something completely different.
Typeractive:
Using a non-functional typewriter, transform it into an art piece by painting it, adding decoupage, add ephemera, redecorate the keys, or use it as a base for a mixed media assemblage.
Upcycle:
Turn something old into something new, like turning an old t-shirt into a reusable tote bag.
Mandala:
Create a mandala using found objects, coloured pencils, and collage elements. Make it your own by including symbols, colours, and items that represent you.
Print:
Cut out images, text, shapes, patterns, and textures from various print media, paste them into sturdy card, and attach them to a metal ring. Add to it when you find something new. Voila! Instant inspiration!
Jars:
Transform old jars into decorative (or functional) vases, pen holders, or something else, by gluing found objects or broken items to the outside.
Window:
Using an old magazine, cut parts out of one page to reveal what's on the next through the cut out. Do multiple layers and multiple cut outs, combine images and text, texture and colour.
Found:
Go for a walk with a bag or box and fill it with objects you find - rocks, lost earrings, pop can tabs, flowers, coins, other ephemera, etc. Take pics to put in the box too. Use the items to create a collage, sculpture, or shadow box.
