I wanted to show you these collages I've been working but my goodness they are difficult to photograph! They are made using old magazines and covered with eopxy resin for a tough, shiny coat. The resin I'm using is virtually VOC free and environmentally friendly. It's quite labor intensive but I love the result. I'm plan to hang the one above (21X21) over my pink bathtub where the steam won't affect the eopxy coating.

These are awesome! I can't imagine how long it took you to find the pictures, punch them out, line them up, adhere them, and resin them! Very cool.

Wow! How did you do these?! We're seeing a new kind of artistic side of since the move. More of your own creations rather than modifications. They're great.

Thank you all so much for the encouragement! I have been working on finding "my art" (I can't paint or draw.) I will try and photograph when I make another one. The large one took me about 8-10 hours! I have a stack of old magazines, punched out aqua and turquoise, lined each one up, glued it, measured the next etc. then sealed them, plugged the back with clay to prevent leaks, mixed the resin, poured it, blasted it numerous times with a butane torch to remove bubbles. A real labor of love!
