working on collages

I love the way the background came out on this collage.  It's 4"x4" my usual size for collages, on wood.  I coated with acrylic paint, mixing colors on the piece itself.  then made marks with a colored pencil, added rub ons and stamped tissue paper and resin paper.  The focal image is encased in ultra thick embossing crystals. then some were ripped to leave the exposed paper.  Finally all this is encased in self leveling tar gel that I tinted.  I love process - and I really like the results of this new process.  More to come.
