Transforming Ugly Art: From Ugly to Beautiful. "He Transforms our Mess into Something Beautiful."

Watch as I take some ugly scrap artwork - in fact, an entire background of it - and several more pieces of more ugly art - and transform it into something beautiful and meaningful. At least, I think it's beautiful! This is an art process video that's all about throwing caution to the wind, having fun, and trying new things! It's already ugly! What more could go wrong? Not everything turned out perfectly as planned, but it turned out beautifully nonetheless. I use several different techniques and art supplies here. I even organized it into chapters for easy reference to each technique or type of supply I used.

My art process reminds me about how God transforms the ugly messes of our lives into something beautiful. There are strong spiritual and Christian themes expressed here in this video.
