I really like the results of my first use of resin on top of my mixed media piece. I was using vintage laces as well as threads and even an old brooch and I really wanted to capture and compliment the texture of these objects and materials. I wanted to try an alternative to encaustic and I really like the results. I have to say, this is probably one of my favorites so far. I will use this as a concentration piece. I also chose to use resin rather than encaustic because the encaustic technique tends to cover up a lot of the texture in lace and fabrics. Rather than cover it up, I wanted to accentuate the fabrics, as they represented Ma, the inspiration for this piece.
I really like the way this piece came out! the resin brings everything together, and since I've read the book I can honestly say that this show's Ma's character :)
ReplyDeleteI love that you used resin on this piece, I think this turned out great and i would like to mention that i love how we worked this piece's problems out together. Love it!
ReplyDeleteAbigail,
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite concentration piece you've done so far. This definitely needs to go in quality. I think the resin was very successful and it helps unify all of the found objects. I like all of the details and of course the green :) Good job bestie!
I agree-- definitely a quality piece.
