Inspired by texture, color, layers, shapes and a bounty of ideas Ruth and I created projects that not only integrate the techniques that we presented in Part 1 but an array of ideas meant to inspire and intertwine with one another. While some of the pieces contain a bit of whimsy, others pay homage to our family lineage and history.
Each project not only showcases techniques we use most often in our work but also features techniques that are achievable with items that are often found in studios and workspaces. As with most mixed media and collage, the projects are put together in a layered nature. While each piece of art has a focal point, individual aspects of the works are meant to entice the viewer while, at the same time, working together as a whole.
