I have finished three pieces at the same time. Whooee!! I can't say that often. You've seen this one before at various stages...before and during the 29 faces challenge. This began as this.

on a piece of cardboard. Sorry. This picture is blurry but I wanted to show you the progression. It then became this where I thought it might be finished.
And I kind of liked it at this point and I thought about putting it in a cheap frame or mounting it on a cheapo canvas but it was such an odd size I couldn't do either. Hence the challenge of cutting it up so it would fit on a canvas. I reworked it and then added the "acrylic skins." That stuff is so hard to work with in my opinion. I think it's the equivalent of making saran wrap and you know how that stuff sticks together if you don't get it on something in one full swoop. I liked the look of the doodling the skins gave but had no more patience to separate the skins from the plastic page protector so I went ahead and doodled with a black marker. I finished it with the inks splatters so she looks like this now.
I can now hang her on the wall. Do you like it? Tell me what you think. I'm still deciding on a title or name for her.
Although I am late getting to the party I am sharing this over
here.
It kind of made me want to move to a canvas.
Both are in progress.
Did you know that if you coat used paper towels and or baby wipes with diluted glue they become a kind of canvas? I took some used old painty baby wipes and saturated them with diluted Mod Podge. I saturated them on each side and then folded them in half and saturated them again and let them dry on a piece of waxed paper. I did the same with a used painty piece of paper towel. Amazing how strong they become when coated with glue. I have used painty wipes and paper towels glued down to a page for background art journaling, but not by themselves. I might have to make a little book with the baby wipes.
Thanks for stopping by.
