“Sticky Fingers” Glued Collage Finished

I had fun finishing up the sample for “Sticky Fingers,” my upcoming glued collage class.  In the photo below, I was working on adding a simple cruciform shape to the background.

When I was happy with the front, (and after it dried,) I flipped
it over and finished the sides and back.

more accurate than the first one.)Pink-cruciform-cutout-web

This is a very fast and forgiving technique.  I’m really looking forward to teaching it.  (Just need to find time to make more samples!)

    I love your work. I am such a fan. I have suggested to my guild that you be hired for a workshop. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
    Your Sticky Fingers is intriguing. I have seen your demonstration on a video over the net. I can not remember what type or kind of glue you are using. Could you help a girl out and let me know what you are using? Thank you for any help.

    Hi Deb,

    I use gel medium, gloss. It’s an artist’s product, which I dilute very significantly. You can see the video you mentioned here.

    Thanks for the accolades! Hope I get to come teach in your area.
