Recycling

Every now and then I look back at work that didn't sell and try to recycle it and see if I can make it better. I had a collage left from the Evergreen pop-up that didn't sell, and yesterday I decided to start experimenting with it.

The first thing I did was add some black painted stripes to the surface. Still not enough, so I added the blue circles around the number five. Better, but still nothing really interesting. I was about to give up on it, when I got the idea to cut it into slices.

Then I shuffled the slices. Now I am very happy with it! What do you think?
