burlap & beans (58 views)
Probably not suitable for the contest, but I entered it anyway. If it's not accepted, I'm still going to print a swatch.
I scanned the burlap and beans separately, and arranged the beans in a repeat (21 x 18) pattern. Desaturated a bit, then treated both images with the poster edges filter (PShop). Added the words with a brush concocted to look like distressed paint.
