OLD FROM NEW

I wonder how many artists have unfinished or discarded canvases stacked against the walls??
Every pic Ive seen of a studio shows some..they are ready to be reworked or maybe even painted over.
Its the same with textile work ..some seemed good but then maybe they werent. Unpicking and reusing yarn or a textile piece is similar to a painting in that the individual items may be reused to create something else, the old masters of the art world certainly did this with canvases or boards.

Here is a Rose Trellis piece, felted, knitted and material roses on a green garden trellis.
I loved it for a while, then it was taking up space so I dismantled it, saved the roses and TAH DAH .......

Now reassembled on a small painted blockboard as a picture, and they are reborn.

Wonder what else I can find in the stash??
