I know there is an official name for this. I was just playing around with some paper. Its really quite addicting.

Cut a couple (i used about five) of different colored pieces of paper into fairly thin strips. It doesn't matter if the strips vary in thickness or if a single strip has different widths. It gives your art more character!

You can also do shaping after you glue the loose end down. It really doesn't make a difference unless you want to have the unravel part.

Just last week I found two *ginormous* bags full of leftover strips from paper shredders at school. Now they will be curly-awesome paper strips. :)

What if you glued several different colors of these on a single piece of paper and framed it? it could be colorful wall art with texture. This is going to be really cheap addition to my dorm room. Thanks for the inspiration!
