Recession Proof Art

In honor of the declining economy I want to create cheap art that anyone could easily create. It would be tragic if a flagging economy resulted in people not being able to decorate their homes with unique art. Anyway, my first attempt was really easy to create and accidental. I used an old German novel I got for 10 cents at the library book sale, Modge Podge, and a cheap canvas from A.C. Moore (pack of two was under $10). I glued the pages down on it and then sealed it. I think the age of the pages gives it a neat patina. There is something artistic about looking at a foreign language. This was supposed to be the base of a larger piece, but I like its minimalism so I may either leave this as is or do another one where I pay more attention to the placement of the pages, etc.
