How many ways can strips be arranged to make different patterns? Here are some possibilities:
side-by-side
woven together
scattered strips
alternating colors/patterns
fanned out from a central point
randomly stacked like pick-up sticks
maze or squarish spirals
various width strips
torn strips
various width strips
torn strips
criss-crossing, etc.
For this post-card sized swap, cut out strips from colored papers, painted papers, patterned papers, rubber stamped papers, textured papers, hand-made papers, old book pages- and base the design solely on arranging paper strips on any background of your choice. Minimal additional elements will be allowed. Main focus is on strips.
