Finally done with the grid art project....

Having a grid art project was pretty cool! I had an idea of making a picture of the "love" statue in Philly, but that idea went out the box once I started my project. I was in Michaels for about 45mins. thinking of ideas and making sure I got the right materials and enough of them. I thought I was going to get buttons the same size, but that was not the case I had to get different size buttons; I had to work with what u had. Once I actually started the project after cutting a foam board. worrying if it would work I started with a idea on a pattern on the outside border, but once I got to  the middle my ideas started to change. I was very interested in this project and my crafty mind just took over. I know you probably didn't  noticed, but I got carried away and was way off grid, but I had to work with that I was already too far ahead. My challenges with this project were the spacing since my buttons where circular, another thing was I wasn't sure on the amount of buttons I needed, so I end up going to the store again because I didn't have enough small buttons. In the little bags there weren't a even amount of buttons so the different sizes weren't all the same quantity. I added a bow & arrow in the project since love and a bow and arrow combine together. My friend also noticed a heart in the project as well, this wasn't planned but it came out right. So the word love, and the bow&arrow, and the heart were all together which was great! I'm glad everyone liked my project, I think if I were put in a art class with many different crafts for days I would make something outrageous! Great project, since this was my first art class in college I really enjoyed this project because it made me feel like I was in elementary school because we always did projects. This project made me relaxed a lot!
