Before
After: Paris Souvenir
Shadow Box Floating Collage 8 X 8
The before you can see had some of the inside paint continuing to the outside, it's harder to tell that the outside paint was a rather dingy tan. I was not happy with my choice so I decided to go with an all off white outside. Four coats of paint later I finally had what I was looking for. It's hard to tell from the photo how the collage floats. It is raised from the back by a foam core base and the top piece has another foam core spacer. It's a nice effect and one I learned from Laura Lein-Svensner. http://lonecrowart.blogspot.com I still have to put a piece of glass on the front which is held in place by turn buttons.
Now for the question of the day; What do you call a person who jumps in the river that runs through Paris? Leave your answer in the comments.
This is an outstanding piece Jan. I love 3 dimensional work .

ReplyDeleteLovely: I like the harmonious colors as well as the echoing of squarish shapes.
ReplyDeleteI like to float paintings in their frames too.
