A 7 or 8 step, step-by-step ...

step 1

I started with foil cardboard ...

( I know it doesn't look metallic, but trust me? it is) 

rescued from an opened Costco package, 

the kind you have to cut to get into?

step 2

Adding graphic text from a Verizon  junk mail ad.

step 3

And a second torn strip of the same add. I

 prefer the torn edge.

step 4

And, a torn piece from the reverse side 

of the same ad junk mail.

step 5

Mark-making tissue, the process shown here in an earlier blog.

step 6

A torn piece from another ad. junk mail to add contrast.

step 7

Final piece is a circular-ish shape from 

a different piece of junk mail.

Step 8 below, is digitized, a subtle change.

step 8

I love using junk mail & throw-away stuff.
