When's the last time you did bean art?

I wish I could remember, as it's pretty nifty when you think about it. That time might be as far back as elementary school art class!

I was reminded of it by this Etsy shop and really wanted to make some. Fortunately for me, we have a bag of old beans from a soup mix in the pantry (I was using them for pie weights, but now I have real pie weights), so I pulled them out and started playing.

This is just a basic layout to get the rudimentary colors set~I'll make the final one a bit bigger with more beans to show variations.

I had been thinking canvas, but Chip suggested I transfer it to a piece of wood, which sounds a little more folksy and fits the style. Now to decide the size of the final project...
