Reply to Lehna's comment If you ever decide to sell it, hit me up! IF I DECIDED I'M NOT GONNA PUT ANYTHING ON THE BACK. OKAY, SO I'M JUST GONNA PULL THE TRIGGER AND DO THE LEAST. WATCH TILL THE END AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT I ENDED UP DOING. THAT'S THE BACK. THE GLUE IS ALMOST DRY. AFTER A MONTH, IT'S STARTING TO GROW ON ME. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE IDEA THAT, FROM THE FRONT IT LOOKS LIKE ONE THING, BUT THEN WE LOOK BEHIND THE SHINY VENEER AND WE SEE WHAT'S INSIDE, WHICH IS A CONCEPT THAT I WORK INTO SO MUCH OF MY ART. THE GLUE'S BEEN DRYING FOR LIKE A MONTH, AND IT'S STILL BUT THE AREAS WHERE IT HAS FULLY DRIED, IT'S CLEAR, AND IT I DON'T KNOW, MAKE IT DEEP. LET'S SEE WHAT IT BECOMES. BLUE TAPE ON THE BACK. SO I CUT UP THIS, LIKE, PLASTIC BAG. OH, THAT'S COOL, RIGHT? IT'S GOING INTO THE COMPOST BIN THAT IS MY GREEN AND THIS ONE I HAD SANDED IT, SO IT HAS THIS KALEIDOSCOPE EFFECT. MY LEAFING GLUE. PROBABLY NOT EVEN USE A BRUSH. I'M GETTING TIRED OF RUINING MY BRUSHES WITH LEAFING GLUE. I KNOW I COULD JUST WASH IT RIGHT AWAY, BUT I SEEM TO HAVE MORE CONTROL WHEN I PUT ON A PLASTIC AND THEN FOR THE LEAFING PART I PUT ON THESE COTTON GLOVES. THERE IS A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS TO USE THIS FOR DIFFERENT EFFECTS. SO HERE I STARTED OFF TRYING TO USE IT REALLY DELICATE AND FLAT. UH, IT ENDS UP REALLY LOOKING FLAT IN THE END ANYWAY, UNLESS YOU BREAK UP THE FOIL PRIOR TO PUTTING IT ON. SO I'VE USED IT BOTH WAYS, BUT HERE I JUST KIND OF WANTED AS CLEAN AND SMOOTH AS I COULD GET IT. THEN I WENT IN WITH MY SEALER. I THINK IT'S DRY. AND I'M GONNA TAKE OFF THE PLASTIC. I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD DO IT IN A NICE SPOT AND RECORD SOMETHING PRETTY, BUT I ALSO FEEL LIKE LIFE'S TOO SHORT. SO I STARTED PEELING IT BACK AND THEN I REALIZED THAT THE SILVER WAS NOT GETTING A CLEAN CUT LINE. SO I WENT BACK IN AND I SCRATCHED THE CORNERS WITH MY BLADE. THERE WE GO. PERFECTION. SO MANY DECISIONS. HA HA! YEAH. YEAH, IT'S JUST A NON ISSUE. THE CLEAR STILL LOOKS GREAT. THESE WHITE PATCHES WILL EVENTUALLY DRY AS THESE WERE ALL REJECTS AND THEN WE MADE THEM BEAUTIFUL ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT THEY, I GUESS ARE STILL REMNANTS OF THE REJECTION ON THE INSIDE, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE THEY'RE STILL BEAUTIFUL. OH, WHAT A NICE MESSAGE. AND THE EDGE IS GREAT. I DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUE WITH IT. OH, YOU KNOW WHAT? I HAVE TO SIGN IT. DO I SIGN IT OVER THERE? DO I SIGN IT IN GOLD? DO I SIGN IT IN BLACK? DO I SIGN IT IN PINK OR GREEN?

Replying to @𝙻𝚎𝚑𝚗𝚊 It’s on my site! ☺️ I love that it’s a one-of-one and though I kind of love the dripping hearts and will probably do those in some other iteration again it will never be exactly like this since that lucite piece was also one of one. And the piece where you learn at the beginning is the one that carries so much of the energy #Gallery #Foil #WorkInProgress #CreativeProcess #Feedback.
