January ARTastic Challenge Inspiration

This is my first month as a member of the team over at the ARTastic Challenge blog!  http://artasticchallengeblog.blogspot.com/
This is the piece that inspired us this month, some street art by Vexta. 
 
 
Here is what I came up with, using the criteria of including triangles or diamonds:
 
 
The real point of this was the triangle cut outs that I used as part of the sunburst's rays.  In order to keep the lines straight, I used the negative portion of the sunburst cut-out as a guide, fitting everything together like a puzzle.  For the cut-out rays, I drew the lines on the back and cut them apart one piece at a time.  It is hard to see here, but they are all popped using foam squares.
 
There is still time to join in the challenge!  Hit the link for details!

Hey everyone!  It has been a while since I blogged.  I think the scrap retreat resulted in a scrap hangover!  So, here is this month's inspiration at ARTastic Challenge!  I hope we can get many folks involved!  I will be revealing my own take on the inspiration mid-month, so be sure to check back!
January ARTastic Challenge!

Here is the art!  A really awesome street art piece by Vexta.  You must include some diamonds or triangles in your own composition.  Have fun!
