Love this. Saw these peace signs a lot during the hippie day of the 70’s. The black and white really stands out against the beautiful colors of the background.

What an amazing artwork, Gavin! Loved it. The great use of color and texture made for wonderful interest. Especially liked how the 4 yarn corner pieces tied in with the many smaller ones in the concentric circle. Terrific job.

What a great job, Gavin! The shading on the mug, the lines showing the grain of the wood, and the way you used the interesting material to form the hot chocolate, whipped cream and candy cane makes this collage look so real.
