Mixed Media Ship Collages

This is the first time... in a long time... that I have REALLY had fun in the studio! I went into this knowing I wanted to use 3D boxes. I wanted to make some ready to hang (without frames) pieces of art. I just tore into my paper supply and had so much fun!

Blueprints from work that I had used earlier as a drop cloth...


...with leftover blue paint...

...cut outs from a vintage National Geographic story on Pacific Islanders...



... strips of old maps, ink and ModPodge...


I am REALLY happy with the results! I'm not sure if I'll list in my shop yet... what do you think? These may be prototypes for more to come!
