| 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.
