Henri Matisse made gouaches decoupes (paintings from cut outs) which he liked to describe as "painting with scissors."  BLUE NUDE was one of the many famous paintings from this time.
 Here is another one of my "paintings with scissors."
The first one I posted was on June 19, 2013.

Supplies:
canvas
paper for acrylic paint
acrylic paint
paint brushes
glue
scissors

Look at some of Matisse's gouaches decoupes paintings for inspiration.
Paint canvas a color you want for your background. Now paint several pieces of paper different colors. Let dry. Cut out shapes. Glue onto canvas. Let dry.

Magnet

Laminated Photo Magnet I like to use my laminator and I like photos. I have wanted to find creative ways to display favorite photos rather than displaying them in small frames. Here is my laminated photo magnet. Supplies: favorite photo card stock ribbon hole puncher *laminator laminate sheets circle magnet tacky glue    Cut photo to desired size. Cut card stock 1/4 inch larger than photo. Center photo onto card stock and glue. Then laminate it. Trim photo around the edge of card stock. Punch holes around the edge of card stock. Cut ribbon twice as long as diameter of laminated photo. Start at the top center of the laminated photo and weave ribbon in and out of holes. Tie a knot at the end and trim. Put a dab of tacky glue on the back of the magnet and then stick to back of laminated photo. Let is dry completely before using.
