I have always collected the different things that I have been to or done. (Movie/gamne tickets, flyers, plane tickets, photos, etc.) and would end up just taping them to my wall. Eventually I had a large collage and every time I moved to a new place I would have to roll it up and shove it in my car which I hated to do. I have always wanted to put it on something so it could be easily moved and permanent attached to something. I used the Studio Sessions show as an excuse to do it because I knew it would look great in the show.

I took apart the collage and put it all back together using gel medium to attach all the pieces to a large (48″x96″ cut in half so 2 – 48″x48″) piece of panel board.

Covered it with Mod-Podge to seal it and after all that was dry, covered it with a wax medium to give it a matte finish.



Darkened the edges to contain everything a bit more.



Used oil paint to paint a design on the bottom. I liked it without the design but it still didn’t look finished to me still so I went in with the paint. I would like to go in and add some more details with a paint pen.

I had a lot of fun with this and it has been a project i have wanted to do for a while now. Pretty happy with the turnout.
It came out almost exactly like I had invisioned. Just a few touch ups…
