Background squares for a swap

These are for a background swap on ABC. The object is to create a background on one side and tell how it's made on the other side. The first one I made using gesso and oil pastels. I love, love these and they really make great backgrounds. Although they are a bit more time consuming to make than they look, I decided to make a second set.
I took this idea using plastic bags from Marci who made these backgrounds for a "recycle, repurpose, reuse" swap we had recently on ABC. I had to try them, and they are fantastic and light as air. I mounted the ironed plastic bags on card stock using eyelets. I love how they look and you can sew on them, and do lots of cool things.
