I cut snippets from an acrylic skin I created several years ago. The skin consists of free-form scribbles made with fabric paint, dried thoroughly, over which I spread gloss gel medium, also left to dry thoroughly, thereby creating a plastic sheet or 'skin.'

I cut my snippets without knowing how or if they'll bring cohesion to my starts but, magically, they do. The random bits of scribble offer up something different from what I'd ever think to—or be able to—draw in context, and I can move them around first without having to commit. Win, win.

this is brilliant! The ability to move them around...oooooh! Now you have my mind whirring....
Right? so much fun to have independent loose intuitive bits of art to bring together very deliberately : )
LOVE!!

Always a "win win" when you can manipulate without committing! Great effect which also gave dimension to the piece!
Carol, your use of the word dimension really got me thinking here. Helpful. Thank you! The following definition/usage resonated with me:
dimension —— an aspect or feature of a situation, problem, or thing.
"sun-dried tomatoes add a new dimension to this sauce"
