The End Results: Prompt *2*

I consider myself pretty open to all things. Especially all things crafty. I will attempt anything at least once. And I always thought when artist's spoke about "thinking outside of the box" and "leaving their comfort zone" that they possibly were so focused on their area of expertise that they might be becoming stagnant and attempting to bring some life back into their art.

HELLO!?!?!?!
I was W.R.O.N.G!

I have made many collages in my day. But I never tried a collage portrait much less a collage self-portrait. And I have to be honest. It was SO HARD!
I struggled finding images, then I struggled figuring out how to assemble it and have it still resemble a person... ACK! I was at a complete loss.

Finally after nearing mental craziness I just let all my misconceptions go and started gluing things down. And you know what...

I LIKE IT!
It weird and funky and yet "I" see myself in it.
How weird is that?

And I have total respect for collage artists. You guys ROCK! Way beyond rock. You are GENIUS!

So without further ado here is me a la collage self-portrait.

I used magazine images, paint, corrections pens, 7 Gypsies stamp, and Sharpie Ultra Fine Point Pens.

I will try more of this in the future.
