| Portrait made of Plastic caps by Mary Ellen Croteau Posted: 28 Sep 2011 07:28 PM PDT Mary Ellen Croteau from Chicago has made a stunning 8 by 7 ft. portrait of herself using recycled plastic bottle caps. This idea came to her one day when she noticed that the smaller sized caps fit inside the larger ones and these created a whole new color combination. Then she was inspired by Chuck Close's art and the way he creates realistic portraits using just shapes of colors. She did not use any paint on the caps themselves except for the shadow areas where the white board showed through, and only trimmed a few caps so they would fit in tight spaces. She achieved all the different color tones simply by combining different color bottle caps.   Designer’s Depot: the best source for artists, designers and art lovers.    |
