It started with a Keith LoBue class last fall. I made a small collage in a altoid can and then mounted it on a small clayboard panel that I had textured with molding paste and painted with acrylics. I loved printing the transparencies from family photos I had scanned to make CDs of photos for my brothers.
more followed
a couple of 4" x 4" clayboard with transparencies mounted on slides
hmmm, can I make those transparencies bigger, say, 8 x 10?
yes, I can!
there were a few more (not shown here) and then I went to see the Treasures from Heaven show at the Cleveland Museum of Art. I was intrigued with wrapping and entwining bundles, entombing objects, precious objects wrapped with cloth, texture, boxes and compartments, tiny labels, and so I thought about making boxes to fit in the clayboard panels, and here is the first try
24" wide by 18" high that is mostly done but I will add more bundles and labels to the compartments as they occur to me. I am in love with the clayboards. They are masonite panels that have different sized cradles, this one is 1 1/2" deep so the box with compartments fits in. The hardest part was cutting the hole in the masonite, I need to improve my jig saw skills.
and just to amuse myself I added another one working with wire and molding paste.
And the next in the self deconstruction quilted pieces is almost finished!
Plus I have been busy freelancing and working the part time job.
Amazing what you can done when you aren't mowing lawn!
No, you can't just make one! These are great to see...
