Can You See Me? Can You Hear Me?

For those of you who don't know my words were mystery, wallpaper, and pattern. And this is what I came up with for those words.

At first I thought I lucked out when I drew my words. Getting pattern and wallpaper seemed to be a lucky break. I mean what are the odds right? But then I got to thinking and realized how do you make wallpaper mysterious... My initial idea was to make something reminiscent of the Jeepers Creepers movie poster. So i thought I'd go out and find some awesome wallpaper and get to work and cram this thing out with time to spare. Thing is I got to Walmart and realized that oh yeah, there is no such thing as awesome wallpaper. It's all ugly. So I bought what I thought would work best and decided my initial idea wasn't going to work with this wallpaper. So the Tuesday before crit I was sitting in class with no ideas and trying anything that came to mind to no avail. It was 3 hours down the drain. I stitched 4 pieces of my wallpaper border together for Thursday and when I got to class on Thursday I went with the first idea that popped into my mind which turned into my final piece.
Overall I'd say I created mystery pretty well with what I did and I feel I used my other two words well. I think that the wallpaper needs to look more aged but that is something I can go back and fix in the future should I choose to.
I was much happier with this crit than my last one. I think my piece was well received and it definitely had people wondering what was going on. Mission Accomplished!
