Instructions
1. Cut strips from various magazine pages, each strip being about 6" in length and varying widths. (Look at areas on a page that have the color you want without a lot of distracting images and elements, although words work well).
2. Rub glue stick over an area on white copy paper the length of your strips and wide enough to allow you to put down several strips before drying. Continue laying strips down in this matter, going from lightest to darkest and back to lightest so that lighter colors are on the edges. Cut off excess copy paper around strips, cutting right to edge of strips and cleaning up the ends with paper cutter.
3. Turn block of colored strips 1/4 turn and begin cutting strips of various widths, cutting ACROSS colors.
4. Glue strips to brown card front using glue stick, moving the pattern up and down by keeping colors near each other, but not exactly next to each other (Lay out your pattern before gluing to make sure you're getting the movement you want). Vary widths by using a fatter strip, then a skinny strip, etc.
5. Add vellum dragonfly over finished Bargello pattern and use gold metallic letters to form the word "Soar".
