DaVinci's daughterby *sandpiper764

Traditional Art / Collage

_{Second attempt at traditional collage, and my first attempt at using beeswax to cover surfaces .. found out that beeswax can be difficult to work with. Added a digital texture over this, to try and hide the globs of wax.

The girl is from a Gia Russa 100% Whole Wheat Spaghetti box, the two squares (92D and 98D) are paint/texture samples picked up at the local hardware store, and the halo is a thermograph chart paper. Flowers are from various stationary at hand. I sandpapered the surfaces to try to add some real texture .

Hope you enjoy}

Awesome!! I'm working on my first one. So much more difficult then I thought it would be. Well done my friend

It is more difficult than I had anticipated as well, but it's a lot of fun. Looking forward to what you come up with !

Thanks Chery

Lovely textures and muted colours.

The wax gobs are a pain - you can try ironing over the surface to melt them back in?

*sandpiper764 Mar 5, 2012 Hobbyist Photographer

I can definitely give that a try. Thank you

Very cool! Laughing about the wax gobs. I know about that!

Thanks! I don't know if I'll try wax on a finished piece again until I get the hang of it

... may try premelting it, then brushing it on.

*LauraTringaliHolmes Mar 5, 2012

The thing I've learned about fusing wax layers is to have a heat gun at the ready. You brush the wax on, melt it, keep brushing, keep melting. With experience I can see this working really well, but right now for me, as a novice, it's definitely more theory than reality!
