Challenge: Connect the dots. Make something only using dots. The dots could be stippling from a pen, the circles cut from paper using a hole punch, or even small, round price stickers.
My first thought was drawing with circles. I've done a few stippling pieces in my day, and I love the effect but the time commitment is pretty huge.
I felt like a bit of a cheater, but I dug up my hole punch and found some price stickers. I also found some paper that I treated many years ago with paint and written text and decided to use it as my base for this challenge:
 |
Added some stickers |
 |
Punched holes in the outer stickers |
 |
Punched holes in the right side and a little bit of the top |
 |
Added punched out parts to the center of each non-punched label |
 |
Detail of the right side - I like that all the holes I punched don't stack up into a straight line |
 |
With some of the blue punched-out circles scattered on the top and right side of the paper |
 |
Different view |
 |
Stickers removed, just seeing how the paper looks |
 |
The back side of the paper |
I had fun doing this project, not over-thinking it. I love circles so much, in art and jewelry and most visual things, so there were really a lot of options of things that I could do for this challenge that would be satisfying for me.
