Journal 52, Week 41: Mosaic Inspired

For Week 41 at Journal 52 the prompt is Mosaic Inspired.  While Chelle decided to create a face, I'm not that talented.

So I started with my usual used file folder, and

painted it using an old gift card. 

I cut various FREE paint chip samples from the hardware store into 1" (2,54 cm) squares.  I started by making the frame, then the tulip.  I cut two of the squares into triangles, and one long paint chip into three strips of 1/2" (1,27 cm).  After I adhered them and took this photo, I took a wet rag and removed the excess glue.

Bluebeard and I present you with our Week 41 entry, or the Tulip Mosaic.  I hope you like it, because this is the only place you'll see it, since I'm not a member of Facebook or Flickr.

Thanks as always for stopping by, and for your continued comments.  Please don't forget we will visit an underground salt mine beginning tomorrow.
