I love the feel of your work. I like the way you add depth and texture with your mixed media materials. I think your BRAIN SCAN is great! I love it when art immediately brings out emotions. I felt very happy when viewing it.

Keep at it!!

Thanks Shirley. The Backround windows are NAPKINS. The borders on the peice are ribbon.

Luan is a real thin plywood, and I didnt think to seal it or anything, so it did start to warp… so I had to make a frame for it.

I did “intensify” some of “her” features and dress, with chalks and metallic markers…

Thanks…

I think it’s a type of plywood, and Debe used it as the backing or substrate for her piece

Very cool. What is Luan? I love the individual pieces..the flowers, the marbellised background, the swirls at the bottom and the translucent quality of her skin.
How clever your self portrait is !
Going to have a go at myself…but no promises to share.
