AMAZING PIECES!!!


This is some of the stuff that was on my globe. There are SO many incredible pieces here! I'm excited that I have a new project to created because of the problem the happened with the globe!

IT IS THE END OF THE WORLD AS I KNOW IT!


So this is what is left. My plan is to sand and prime tomorrow in order to star again. The thing about all of this is the the pieces i pulling off of the globe are amazing!!!! I already have so many ideas about what I want to create out of all the pieces!

WHAT IS LEFT...




IT KEEPS PULLING OFF!


So after much discussion with other artist, the creator of the globes and Golden Acrylic's tech help, I think what happened is a combination of no primer, the release agent on the globe, wall paper paste, magazine paper and water.....it just didn't jive together....SO, I spent Sunday pealing off the layers of paper.

AN ARTIST GLOBAL DISASTER!


So I was working on the globe and as I was tearing the paper it began to come completely off the globe. (YIKES!)

THIS IS WHERE I SANDED!


My nephews visit Camp Cool Globes and help me sand areas of the globe.

ENVELOPES, GOLD AND MAGENTA






More layers of color and mail. I tear and sand the mail layers and as paint is added I also wipe it off the surface. This gives the paper a variety of textures and therefore paint is absorbed differently.
