Rt 66

Super excited about the June 11th Art Walk at Art Mundo in the Orange Avenue Studios in Fort Pierce. The Route 66 theme is promising to be an energetic and fun show. I just finished my entry and I'm very pleased with the result.

I started this project with an old record

album and art ephemera gathered from several public domain sites over the internet. Most of the ephemera is fussy cut and coffee dyed, (a little coffee painted over the object and left to dry will give most paper an aged effect). I used matte gel medium to attach and seal everything. The last coat of gel medium was applied a little on the thick side then covered with a sheet of wax paper. I brayed over the wax paper and quickly lifted it off the album. The result was a little roughed up feeling and added to the aged appearance.  Currently the piece is off for framing to my lovely friend Mary Bennett. Can't wait to see the finished piece.

Happy Creating.
