But this week I have been able to make some headway. Rather than trying to create pieces from start to finish, I've made a series of cards with backgrounds only. They will serve as the templates or foundations for more developed art cards. The materials for these backgrounds have included sewing pattern paper, security envelopes, tea bags, handmade paper, and commercial paper.
Here are 27 backgrounds awaiting creative inspiration:

When I first glanced at the image of the first one, before reading your text, I thought it was a new style of art card and something inside me got thrilled.
If these were actually 9 tiles on 1 art card (rather that 9 base-line templates of 9 future art card works) I would really like the first one and the third (but replacing the tea & leaf stains with more B&W line drawings).
Given that something about Piet Mondrian's art makes my insides vibrate with ... pleasure? wanting? obsession? Something like obsession, it makes sense that a symmetrical 9 tile art card with the randomness placed inside each would thrill me.
And here I've just found the path that might interest me regarding art creation. I don't have inside me a desire to create, but I enjoy looking at others'. Making art cards with that format, however... wouldn't be torture and might even be appealing. Maybe. If they looked like that.
