Prompt: January - Winnie-the-Glue
Team: Pepperoni Posse
Project Name: Fine Art, Sarcastic Style
Project Link: N/A
Brief Description: We have a very large wall at work that is devoid of any artwork since we moved in. Some people like that, some people do not. I fall into the latter camp, so took it upon myself to put up my own artwork… I made the mini frame with cardboard, crochet cotton, paint, and lots and lots of glue!

I love how you were able to capture the powerful symbolism of this compelling piece in that single explanation :rofl:. And thank you for providing the wall for scale pic - that made me laugh out loud when I saw it!

I don’t know why, but all of my coworkers immediately thought it was me that did it… :smiley: It’s been a very positive response, most people laughing out loud. Another coworker contemplated putting a frame around the whole thing, I feel like we could sell that as a secondary piece “constraint” and have it be about the limiting nature of self-doubt? :smiley:

I don’t know how far I can push my luck until they actually buy artwork for that wall… :smiley:
