DIY: Ripped Magazine Art

In highschool, I had an art assignment which involved ripping up small pieces of magazines and creating a larger composition based on the ripped up pieces. After I graduated college, I found the piece in my parents attic, framed it and brought it to NYC.

Highschool Collage:

I always liked the collage technique, so when I found a gaudy Christmas coffee-table tray at my parents house 2 years ago, I decided to remove the Christmas picture backing from the underglass. The glass gave my chosen ripped-up magazines pattern a fuzzy look which I adore!

Which leads me to my FINAL collage project I'll hopefully ever do. This piece is 3 feet by 7 feet and takes up a large portion of my wall. This project technically is only 80% done as I really should remove the glass and work on the body shading. That, however, will probably never happen, for as I stare at it now- I'm so over it. Ugh, too much additional color in my apartment.
