Foursome

a few weeks ago i picked up a four piece tray set at a yard sale for a quarter, knowing that i wanted to use the trays as frames for collage pieces the same way i did with the tiny cookie tins i did last year. so i started by painting the trays a lovely, distressing shade of the Uszhhh and went from there- They are almost all done- Jack and I are going to the flea market tomorrow morning to look for more frames to embellish with-
here's where i'm at now-
there are four multi-media wall pieces-4"x 8"
"the secret flame"
"woman becomes young"
"naughty alice"

"reward of merit"
naughty alice is almost completely finished- she needs just a little something in the lower right corner-
the rest need their embellishments
the secret flame will have a transparency overlay
very in love with the Uszhhh, thanks michael de meng for that fine paint recipe....
