Here is how one of my "teaser" photo's turned out. Started out with plywood, covered in paper-next time i would paint it. I covered small pieces of wood with coordinating fabrics, then glued them on once i arranged how i liked. Today i added the metal pieces. (it was just too plain w/only the fabric) and the "radiance" bubble.
The canvas is a piece i am reworking. Made it a few yrs ago-it was yellow, said whimsy with some other stuff. Tore it all off, painted over it, added molding paste, paint, more paste and paint and that is where it sits now...
