Mosaic Paper Poster

One of my favorite art pieces

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/mosaic-paper-poster • Posted by tootlesjane

This was something that i had to do i one of my college art classes. it is still one of my favorite art pieces. i started with the original image of a abstract painting my martina shapiro. i traced the outline using a projector. then i painstakingly cut each individual piece of card stock to fit like a puzzle. it took way toooooo many hours to finish. Over ten I think. After working on it for a few straight hours its gets a little overbearing, so breaks are a necessity. The color is a little off; in person the colors are very bright and vibrant. Hope you all like it. I suggest doin a small one about the size of sheet of printer paper first to get the hang of it and decide if you really wanna dedicate the time to it, but the results are worth it.
