{the post that almost had no title}...

3 finished pieces. 
 I only used one of the original photo collages I started with. 
I wanted something with a bit less of a polished look.  So I chose
a couple of my first paintings.
But how to attach?  There are so many options.
 After considering encaustic.  I went with gel and matte medium instead.
I know these materials better.  My experiments using encaustic are still to unpredicatable.
More on that someday.
I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the sides.   
A solid color white or black would have been fine
but I wanted something "different".  Whatever that meant. 
I had a grunge ribbon around them for a while and I was about to
go with that when inspiration struck.
Laying on the desk top were writing scraps from
another printing experiment.

It was the perfect touch.
It was just what I was wanting.
