Crimson Resplendence!

She always knew how to light up a room....when she went to the swanky Slipstream Lounge she lathered herself in crimson.Art processes...This is a mixed media collage on a chunky recycled wood block (approx. 5.5 x 5.5 inches). The background is a layering effect that I used frequently in my collages which is a process of using layers and layers of vintage text from old dictionaries, foreign language books etc. I layer them in a criss-cross pattern and then sand off the layers until I'm happy with the resulting depth effects I am looking for. I then use a variety of acrylic paints and ink for the background and distress the heck out of that. When I'm happy with the background I find a muse for image transferring sand that and then add my own detailing and colors to her. And voila!

Hope you enjoy!
