This painting above, I did a couple years ago was an experiment in
creating textures in acrylic paintings. (be sure to check out my old post to see the tutorial on how I made the textures!) It looked like an experiment! Even though I liked it, I wasn't
totally happy with it...it just needed something else. I love collages
and maps so I thought I would try decoupaging some map parts to it. I
love the effect of the paper going over the textures and looks like part
of the painting now, like mountains or underwater mountains! The maps seem to fit nicely:
My next map project is a decoupaged mannequin head and another mixed media using topo maps so stay tuned! Be sure to check out my
Polyvore art collage post featuring fabulous, unique collages from other artists and myself!
What do you think, almost too good for my bathroom now? Comments welcomed!
Wow that is gorgeous, Heather!!
