Odds and Ends | Mixed Media Project

My current mixed media project is titled "Odds and Ends" When designing the scene, I envisioned a light, fun experience with a smorgasbord of items that didn't necessarily connect. Since I'm drawn to a variety of abstract art, I always attempt to combine different patterns, shapes, and colors in my designs. The designs are somewhat on the airy side instead of my usual dark themes.

For this project, I decided to include again a female subject surrounded by items she's both familiar and unfamiliar with. Utilizing a frame, I was able to extract only that part of the female image I needed without removing the essential background that added a light hue.

Below are my steps:

Utilizing Canva, my design program, I blended the different type images. I began with a blank, white canvas, then added layers of elements. One essential tool I was excited to have at my disposal was the ability to remove elements from their background. That way, I can use the element and the background separately, often repositioning them on different areas in the design.

Below are the images I included in my project:
