60 hours. It doesn't look like much, but I completed his jersey. Those small pieces take just as long to cut as large pieces. So, today's theme was: Devils in the details. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...aa9b5f0010.jpg

Completed. Need to seal it today with acrylic medium. I'm pleased with how it turned out. It continues to grow on me. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...34680c0fc3.jpg

Framed Lou Gehrig so that I can submit it in our local fair. I'm going not just for a blue ribbon, but best in show within the collage category. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1e59d7ea7d.jpg

Ruth Mosaic
 
2 Attachment(s)
Years ago I saw someone made a mosaic out of Topps Micro cards which were made from 1991-1993. I sat with a small picture of the mosaic and a magnifying glass and sorted through all 3 sets to find the cards that were used. It was brutal on my eyes and took quite a while but I nailed it! Now there is a computer program that will design them for you if you have the time to scan all the cards into the data. So of course the farther away you stand from this piece the more it looks like Ruth. unfortunately, I have no place to hang it where you see it at a distance. So if you make the photo small it looks like it is far away. Take a look....

tim - that art work is amazing. really well done.

i'm still working on drawing inside the lines, decades after kindergarten and still can't do it.

Trying to work on two art pieces at one time. While one is drying, I can work on the other. Can you guess what card this is? Size is 24x44.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...be8436fb98.jpg

yes it is! I had extra plywood and spray paint available after a summer project (cornhole), so I thought I'd give myself a challenge.

that's correct! It's been raining here for two days, so in addition to some summer projects, I've been making stencils for WaJo.

experimenting with two different types of shading. gonna have to change one eventually. hard black shading on pants, vs black/gray shading on left side of shirt.
