What's the brand of clear acrylic you're using, and is it a brush on or spray?
I've been using Alene's gloss spray for the longest time and have loved the results...gives everything almost a glassy sheen - less so on card backs than fronts, but nice nonetheless. A few fun ideas I've played with - similar to your strips, I've used a punched square tile theme quite a bit like in this Jordan piece. And not too long ago I tried the modern "relic card" thing with a couple pieces, inserting something behind plastic. It's such fun stuff - yours are beautiful, please keep sharing your projects and process! |

I like your square pieces. I tried cutting parallelogram pieces a couple years ago to make stars in the background. they never came together in a perfect fit and I got so upset. I ditched it and went back to long strips. I like the quilted look of the Jordan, and I like the Henderson. that's a cool idea to insert memorabilia. I will need to try that in the future. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9e52136059.jpg Sent from my SM-S926U using Tapatalk |
I'm going to have to try that gloss medium.
My very first pieces, I did on wood, and sealed them with two step bar top glaze. Talk about a volatile mix. There's nothing quite like working 6 months on something and nearly ruining it in 20 minutes with protectant! |
update: Tiny pieces in the arms taking up all my time. But today didn't go as planned, either. It turned from a day free of responsibilities into a day of honey-do's.

I finished the torso! I finished the logo! That's a huge relief! Black background should get completed lickity split. Then I'll finish with the face.
Also added a close up photo of the White Sox cursive script so you can see the 1991 pieces that make up it's color. I was happy with how it turned out! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...caf34e6a1a.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...533773fe11.jpg Sent from my SM-S926U using Tapatalk |

That, especially with the signature, is incredible!

Nearly finished! Need to add acrylic medium finish next, and then get it framed.
