Fisheye

“Fisheye” is an original, mixed media collage on 6×6 canvasboard.

The interesting shapes and colors in this piece are from melted crayon. What started out as a very abstract image of melted wax (from one direction, I swore it looked like Janis Joplin!), I layered corrugated cardboard (a favorite material of mine for the texture!), images from magazines and books, and a bit of acrylic paint and handmade stamping.

“Fisheye” also includes some “bling” in the form of small faux gemstones – one on the iris of the eye, and one in the mermaid’s hand.
