It's that time again, when I wanted to make something for my Grandson's birthday. Each year, to date, it's been a mosaic. I'm fairly sure I want to try one for him for Christmas but for his birthday, I used collage papers and acrylics.
From a printout of a photo his Mom took, I traced with carbon paper and used acrylics.
It probably could have just gone like this onto the board and been acceptable, but I wanted more interest and I definitely had a lot of painted papers, so I glued down a few layers.
The original background of Malachi in orange made the motorcycle disappear, so I decided to cut it out and I used the pieces in a journal page. The papers I glued, once dry, needed a little love note to him. He won't be able to read it now. I know it's there.
Here's the final piece, ready to gift and hang. I love it and really hope he will too.
Enjoy the journey.
