Hey All, hope everyone is having a good Saturday. I finished the pastel piece on Thursday, and yesterday, I made a custom mat for it. Because the theme is to show the damage caused by our lack of care for the environment, I made the mat from used candy wrappers (Hershey's Kisses, specifically) to represent garbage. So I made it look bumpy and uneven, as though it were piles of garbage surrounding the piece.
So if you think it looks trashy, then I did it right!
