Trash to Mosaic Treasure

My shower this morning was very inspiring. As I climbed in, I noticed torn pieces of a fast food styrofoam cup all over the floor that was undoubtedly a project by one of my children. Was I upset? Of course not! OK, maybe a little. I gathered every piece of the cup and piled them in the corner. Further into my shower, I glanced down at the pile. Did I see a torn up cup? No. I saw a mosaic just screaming to be created.

Grab your trash, swappers. You can use anything. Try a torn up cup, cup lid, newspaper, fabric scraps, twigs from the yard, anything to create your mosaic. How about using envelopes from bills as your backdrop? (Never throw away another envelope without looking at the graphic patterns inside). Use anything you like. Just create something that you would be proud to hang on your wall.

Just be creative. Try a round shape, a standard frame size, or whatever your inspiration calls for. International swap, 1 swap partner.
