A new technique
I had originally started this one back in 2003. It was one of my Oil Pastel pieces, but I wasn't happy with it so I put it in my collage bag to use pieces of it on something else. It was in there for a couple years until one day I used a hot glue gun to outline the color blocks of it.
Then it took on more of a batik look and I thought it had possibilites, but still wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it. My sister was visiting me recently and pulled it out to admire it and oohed and aahed over it. This gave me a fresh viewpoint of it so then it was very easy to add the acrylic colors to it to finally finish it off.
I'm not planning to sell this one because it has been more of an experimental art piece. Nor do I know if I will make more of these in the future. I thought I might try using some beeswax to make outlines on a piece of paper, then put color over it and iron off the beeswax to see what that looks like. I still enjoy doing experimental techniques a great deal.
