Collage

I made this gift for my friend Stacy a long time ago. I took a picture of us and manipulated it in photoshop. I printed it on different color papers. I dipped the papers in liquid starch to give it an artsy vintage feel. I also cut out the borders and added them on. After it was dried, kind of crumply, i mounted it on a piece of purple mat, then framed it.

Magazine Collage

These are two pieces that I made a long time ago, that hang in my bathroom. I am always intrigued by advertisments in magazines. I went through and cut out a bunch of patterns from all different magazines. I put the patterns together kind of like a quilt, then I used a clear apoxie (clear glue) that i painted on over the whole thing. After it dried, I framed each one. My favorite is the bottom one...in the middle, it says "As the mind clears, the eyes see more" I love this saying!
