Are you inspired by found objects?
Do you see possibility in everyday stuff? Do you have a collection of inspiration in the corner of your studio that you have gathered for years?
I do.
Found objects are the foundation of my printmaking process.
I challenge you to use one of those found objects in your art making within the next 24 hours. The sooner the better. Suspend all judgement and expectations and just play with your new toy.
You may start with one idea that will flow into something completely different.
I am accepting the challenge. I am going to do some kind mixed media printmaking with the chicken wire that has been bouncing around my studio for a few years.
Accept the challenge and share your experience with others. Put a link to your new toy or creation in the comments section.

Hi Linda, what a good idea you had (as usual !) to propose this new challenge. The found objects I used are : an eraser / a cookie container / plastic wire / nylon net and thin woolen thread. I added two figures of children I cut out to create 2 different pictures telling a story … “Catching the light”
