Your art astounds me. The twist you put onto things just blows me away. I've also learned not to throw away small boxes and everyday items. The Rit dye tip is amazing, I'll get a lot of use out of that. Thank you so much for sharing your many talents with us, and for teaching us to look at objects differently.
where do you find all those old photos. i search thrift shops and antique stores and they are so expensive. I've seen photos as high as $7 and up for one pic,
@oceanpoet1 You are looking in the wrong places for the old photos...I've found cheap ones at garage sales, flea markets, and I just picked up a large vintage wedding photo (maybe from the 1930's) in the beautiful cardboard frame for 50 cents at a recycling center yesterday. I've also done some trading, and some have been given to me.
I love coming to your sight ever so often to see what you have created. Your work is pure genius. Keep on posting and keep up the great and amazing work.
Hey Greg, I was wondering if you have to do anything to the edges of the glass on pieces where it sits on top of the piece? Are the edges sharp? Also, if you sell your pieces do you need to be concerned about what type of glass you use? As always, another enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing your work and all the tips you give. Deb Plapp
@TandeB4 The sharp edges on the glass are no problem at all once they are glued on top of the box. I did, however, place a small strip of folded paper around the edges (glued down with silicone) on most of these little boxes...only because I like the framed/edging look. I'm not concerned about the glass that I use...I have scrap glass that I've gotten at yard sales, etc., so whatever I have on hand is what I cut to fit my pieces.
You continue to amaze me with your work. You leave your viewers wanting to see more and more. On top of that your voice over's are simple , precise and inspiring. From watching your videos I've created a couple of pieces of my own that I'm very proud of. Thanks and thanks for answering my e-mail in a prompt and encouraging manner. Keep those videos coming!
@armiliob Hey there...many thanks for your comments! I'm a big believer in "artists helping artists," and am glad to share any information on my humble approach to assemblage art. Are you posting the photos of your work somewhere...I'd love to see your pieces!
Thank you again for all of your great ideas and thank you for sharing your techniques. I am going to the mainland tomorrow to buy rit dye and rubbing alcholhol. I am so excited (Yea, my family nthinks I'm nuts).
@thibodeaux99 Thanks...glass edges are not a problem once they are glued down...I do make little foldable paper frames which I glue around the edges, but they are not really necessary.
@5redbird Thanks! The glass edges are really not a problem once they are glued down. I do make little folded paper "frames" that I glue on around the outside edge...works great, looks great !
