The Finished Product

This is the finished product. Tyler, I agree with your comments on hierarchy, but a lot of this was already glued down by the time I read your comment (you know I'm impatient). However, I think I have created a main focal point and overall solid comp. I realized that I was creating kind of a reflection in earlier stages of this, so I decided to go with that idea. Although it is done, I am open to critique that might be helpful for further collages. P.S. Geoff, I responded to your comment but blogger was down for a day and they were gone when it came back.

Last Night's Experiments

So I think everyone on here is caught up with my recent collage work except for Geoff, so if you would like to see what I've been doing for the past year, go to www.picasaweb.google.com/michellelarsenart.
These are some possible compositions I was working out last night. I had settled on the one with the girl at the top and all the stuff falling below her, but when I uploaded the pics on my computer, I saw it upside down and thought it was a nice composition, so now I am open to that. I haven't glued anything down yet so I am open to any suggestions. I wish I had some more questions to ask you to direct your feedback, but just tell me what you think.

Moonlight Over Ganymede

At least that's what I'm tentatively calling this first one. I started a few of these little 9x12's on impulse, and if I can get it right I might do a few bigger ones. Any criticism is welcome.

I toned down the blue reflected light a lot in this one as per suggested. Not sure where to go next; I was maybe thinking to go redder (glaze maybe) for the hard light. ???

Breakfast 2

Companion piece to the last one

i think you could make and sell a bunch of these and they'd look so well together.

Breakfast

So I got a booth at Summerfest here in Logan this summer. I wanted to pump out some sellable stuff. I had a bunch of eggshells I wanted to paint; this is what I put together.

The back of the bowl is getting a lot of glare; its value is much lower.

I've been experiementing, I'm not going to explain what these are. Just beat them up please.
