I have done a lot of watercolor 'practice' paintings over the years, and tried in vain to find some redeeming values in them to frame. Eventually, however, I faced facts. They were no good! Awful, in reality! So what do you do with them? Well, for this project, I tore them up and repurposed them into a bowl! I took a plastic mixing bowl, flipped it over and wrapped it in foil and Saran, and then started tearing up bits of paintings to decoupage over it all. I added a few dried leaves to add interest, (I used gel medium for my 'glue') let it dry for a few days, and then flipped it back over, taking out the plastic bowl and the foil and Saran. I am very pleased with it, and love the flowing colors from the paintings!
