Chicken Teriyaki Bowl #7

Here are the two works I finished today:

“El Sol” is created from an ugly dollar store frame.  I used some embossing aluminum to cover the frame.  The insert is a loteria card image I found online on a painted background.  It was inspired by the ArtsyGringa.

El Sol

Baby Bones is based on an image supplied by the ThriftyCollageArtist.  Here is the original image:

For some odd reason, when I looked at this image, I thought of a skull, so I photoshopped it with some images of skulls using overlays, and added some texture. Here’s the completed image:

After Photoshopping

I glued the whole thing to a black backing and then added some paint to blend it into the backing.  The frame was the ugliest thing you’d ever seen:  each little window was originally set with a resin block containing an image of a dog - the dogs were strange colors like purple and green. The skulls are resin from a dollar store necklace and there is also broken glass, glitter glue, round mirrors and little vial.

I’m not entirely satisfied with this one, but I’m giving it a couple of days on my desk to see if it grows on me.
