November Design Team Bits and Pieces Collages

(Repost from Glitter & Grunge)

For November I asked our design team to make a 12 tile bits and pieces collage that represents some aspect of themselves. Each tile is 2x2. Here are some of our members pieces and their notes about it.

Shannon's piece in progress (finished piece to be revealed later).

Wall hanging, by Leslie, the result of the 2 x 2 Challenge. The basic squares were made of cloth-paper that I made (based on a technique first introduced by Beryl Taylor in Cloth Paper Scissors) and then hand-stitched onto unstretched painted canvas. The beads at the bottom were made from more bits of cloth-paper and hung from hemp. Grommets and hemp hold the entire piece onto a wooden dowel.
